That's a meaningless statement. In a highly polarized period that features rampant vote suppression by the GOP, Biden won several of those key states and flipped two (Arizona and Biden). All by higher margins than Trump's in 2016. So, really, James, try some other argument.

I see no compelling evidence that right-leaning voters were so receptive to Biden's rhetoric in general that if he had simply attacked the GOP more broadly he could have convinced them to vote for down-ballot Dems. Maybe he just would have alienated them and lost his own votes.

That's just evidence that Trump was uniquely unpopular, not that a different strategy would have helped downballot Dems do better. There were plenty of districts where Dem candidates tried to tie their opponents to Trump - was that strategy generally effective?

And a lot of these were likely Republican-leaning voters. We're talking (mostly) about districts that are very, very closely divided.
