Not too good, I wouldn't think. For two reasons, one very obvious, and one maybe more subtle.
The first and obvious reason is that no matter how they spin Jan 6th as a Trump led attack on Democracy, it is clearly the Democrats who are attempting to thwart democracy by literally indicting and arresting the opposition party's strongest candidate, and now attempting to remove him from the ballot to make it a one candidate race. That is Soviet-style "democracy," and it doesn't take a very smart person to see it.
The second more subtle reason is that Biden is specifically touting American democracy. He is a living example of why that does not alway slead to good results. So was the 2020 choice American democracy gave us between Trump and Biden, the 2016 choice between Hillary and Trump, the 2012 choice between Biden and (was it Romney?), etc.
I get that they cannot run on Bidenomics, or Bidenborder, Bidencrimefight, nor Bidenenergy. The theme for the Biden campaign, assuming they want to win by getting the most votes, should be "we know we've made mistakes, and we are going to make changes," leaving the media to speculate on the wonderful and effective changes that he might be talking about.
