    how would she drag votes away from Biden? how would she actually even run in the first place? Are they just assuming Biden will be dead by then (probably a reasonable assumption)

      You can challenge the sitting president in a primary. While it's unlikely the incumbent president will lose the primary, every president who's received a strong challenger in the primary went on to lose the general election.

        I mean its kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy, the existence of a strong challenger at all implies a lack of faith in the incumbent.
