He has done nothing to expand his voter base and has played only to his existing base which means he will need all of those people to support him and he will need young voters and apathetic Democrats who stayed home or voted 3rd party in 2016 to do the same.
I think no matter the Democrat ends up being it will be a close race and either of them can win.
Of course, we are still nearly 1.5 years from the election and a lot can happen between now and then.

This -- spot on as far as I can see. Biden is a weaker candidate than people know. I can't believe the democrats would put aside a candidate who could deliver the young vote and the black vote, which are necessary to win, in favor of a candidate with zero charisma. Biden is technically a centrist, so I guess I should be happy with him, but he isn't really where the party is.
