The main factions that want Trump to remain in power:
Evangelicals that want the overthrow the Iranian government immediately.
The part of the intelligence community that recognize containment & isolation will not work against China, instead want immediate war.
These groups have coalesced into a single bloc in the Trump administration. They are the only factions in the ruling class that will lose ground in a Biden administration.
Bill Barr & Mike Pompeo are probably the most powerful people in this bloc. Curious to see what they can pull off.
Not hard enough for them. Biden would try to economically contain and control China, but apocalyptically warmongering nuts in Trump's admin probably think we can win a full-on war with another nuclear superpower.
Hell even Neoliberals understand there's no "winning" a shootin war with China, but I don't think Neocons do.
In that case they would be right though: China only started rolling out their new high tech ICBMs last year and is still very vulnerable to a first strike, so for these ghouls now would be the best time.

Why would the second group necessarily lose ground with Biden, didn't he go especially hard on China during his campaign?
