Yeah I'd Biden doesn't do something to make finances easier on the common American before election, I think things could get ugly.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Bernie Sanders, America’s leading progressive politician, has issued a stark warning to Joe Biden at the start of presidential election year: be more aggressive in addressing the anxieties of millions of struggling voters or risk handing back the White House to the anti-democratic demagogue Donald Trump.
Recent polls have shown Trump not only doing well in key battleground states but gaining traction with demographic groups who proved vital to Biden’s 2020 victory, including Hispanic and young voters.
Sanders praised Biden for the $1.9tn Covid rescue plan which he said helped avoid economic collapse during the pandemic, and for the Inflation Reduction Act which pumped money into transforming US energy away from fossil fuels.
He was also effusive about Biden’s historic decision to join a United Auto Workers (UAW) picket line during the union’s strike with the three biggest carmakers, which he said made him “the strongest pro-union president that we have had, certainly, since FDR [Franklin D Roosevelt]”.
He formed a set of “taskforces” in which top Biden and Sanders advisers worked together to forge policy agreements in several key areas including the economy, immigration and the climate crisis.
He said he draws confidence from recent labor union victories, including wage increases won by the UAW and new agreements secured by the Teamsters at UPS and by Hollywood writers and actors.

At this point it's too late for an agenda, we don't trust he will follow through with any of it. It will be election year pandering. He needs to drop out and let voters, via primary, decide who they want.
Honest question, if Biden dropped out now, who would the Democrats put up that would actually beat Trump?
Generic Dem with no history or baggage, onto whom we can each project our version of Democratic ideals (until they clarify their stance and lose support).
That's who everyone polls for.
I’d vote for Katie Porter.
Hell yes. Voting for her for Senator.
Pritzer. He could do it.
