This is the culmination of decades of liberal policy, though. The party abandoned working-class voters and got into bed with any corporation willing to throw some money their way. Tax cuts for the rich, handouts to insurance companies and banks, endless wars costing trillions, etc. It's not surprising that part of the electorate that is struggling will look to anyone for answers when the Democrats only offering is "we aren't as bad as the other guy". Most fascist and authoritarian regimes prop up from people desperately looking for answers.
That's not all Biden and Clinton's fault. But they are the embodiment of the past few decades of failure. Wrong about almost every major foreign policy issue and supporting policies that destroyed middle and working-class families. Can't blame the electorate for looking at any alternative, even if it's a reality TV show host who can barely read.

You could run Ronald Reagan against Trump and the right would paint Reagan as a socialist who wants to let illegals rape your wife and collect your tax refund. Herschel Walker took 49+ percent of the vote in Georgia running against Warnock, a fairly vanilla candidate who has done 10000x more good than Walker for the world. If you think Newsome or Whitmer would be running away with the election, you are not very smart.
