...but not because Biden might beat him. I think Biden is dead meat, and the DNC knows that more people would vote against him than for him. That is why they have suspended their primary campaigns in order to have a free hand at naming his successor at their convention (or even afterwards).
The new strategy will be to start comparing Trump TO Biden rather than WITH him. That way, Trump's age and occasional slip-ups will be used to argue that NEITHER of them will be fit enough to serve for the next four years. After the GOP nominates Trump, Biden will announce that he is NOT running due to age-related reasons (and neither should Trump), even though he could still "beat Trump again" if he wanted to.
This will allow the DNC to replace Biden with a younger "moderate" candidate to run against an "aging" Trump. This new candidate will even promise to pardon Trump from his past transgressions in the name of national unity and reconciliation. And the sheeple will bleat their approval.
The best way for Trump to guard against this eventuality is to pick a VP running mate who could credibly serve as President if need be. In this scenario, the Governor of a large state might be the best bet.
