Dem rep predicts party would’ve lost ‘30 to 40 House seats’ if Biden was on the top of the ticket
One of the earliest House Democrats to publicly urge President Biden to throw in the towel believes that if he had remained on the ticket, his party would’ve incurred heavy losses in Congress.

While Democrats lost control of the White House and Senate last month, Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) fretted that if Biden, 82, had been atop the ticket, Republicans would’ve snatched dozens of House seats.
 
“[President-elect Donald Trump] would have taken, I believe, if Biden had stayed on the top of the ticket, 30 to 40 House seats with him,” Craig reflected to NBC News, musing that her own seat would’ve been lost as well.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
