They did run basically the worst possible candidates against him. However, they lost down ballot too.

I'd attribute that to people voting straight ticket. The typical American doesn't put that much thought into who they're electing, you're not gonna see that many people voting for a Republican president and then voting Democrat for their senator.

Yet Trump and AOC both won on the same ticket... And here in Wisconsin Evers the democratic governor and Ron Johnson the republican senator both won on the same ticket.

Voters were mad at inflation. Now both parties have failed to correct that problem.
