I think there's a marketing and history component here. Biden's been around for a while now I think people have gotten used to him being a "moderate".
There's also the Democratic primaries. I mean, the radicals were the ones like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren right? Not Uncle Joe, he's the moderate choice.
Of course now that he's in office it seems there's a new trillion dollar piece of legislation being introduced every week.
