And why would they, he just won the Republican Party, 75,000,000 votes in a U.S Election, the highest ever for a any Sitting President, I know Joe Biden won 80+ Million, but he wasn’t a sitting president during an election cycle. Biden has to prove himself for next four years to sustain it.
It's generally harder to unseat a sitting President though. Already being in the White House is an advantage and it's harder for the challenger, there aren't that many one-term Presidents since WW2. Most win their re-election.

But yeah we don't know how Biden will do. I also suspect he won't run again so it'll be a fresh election rather than challenging an Incumbent.

I think Trump is favourite as I said I just don't think it's a slam dunk when there are 3 more years to go until the Primaries. Losing a prior election is a disadvantage.
