topping trump at any point in his presidency. mid to high 90s in some polls. and biden has already closed ranks to the point that nobody even talks about the 'wings' of the party anymore.

it took trump over a year of installing judges, passing tax cuts, non stop disinformation/messaging, purging conservative outlets of trump critics, etc to unify his party to the same degree and get out of the high 30s in overall approval.

you wont catch beltway media framing it that way. every biden success is covered like a tripwire possibly waiting to blow up the entire party at some point in the future.
