Well founded hypothesis:
There is nothing Joe Biden or Kamala Harris legally could have done (in retrospect) to change this outcome in the election because ...
the electorate thinks the White House can control the economy and was responsible for inflation in 2023--something Republicans were happy to atrtribute to the White House falsely.
And that was the deciding factor. Economic literacy is poor in the USA.
@CanisPundit Carter did fireside chats.
People still blamed him. Live and learn.
