      It's very strange that people don't think social security is something that real people care about -- Biden was forced to defend his record in the weeks leading up to Iowa.

      What is the evidence for the assertion that social security is what did Biden in? It’s not implausible to me but I can think of a lot of other explanations

      I think specifically the collapse of his numbers among 65+ when social security started getting discussed. It was hyperbolic to say it's only factor but it seems to have been important in loosening his support among base.

          It was discussed on the media and Biden talked about it publicly. Out of desperation Biden felt he had to put an ad out defending his record on social security

          It seems more likely that the Trump trial which also was a dragging of Biden through the mud with him.
