Biden
President Joe Biden.
  • Presidential nominees generally drive voter turnout for their respective parties.
  • But with many Democrats boasting higher favorability numbers than Biden, their popularity could boost his campaign.
  • Swing-state Senate candidates like Bob Casey Jr. and Tammy Baldwin could be Biden's biggest assets.

In most presidential elections, the top-of-the-ticket candidates are the top draws for their respective parties, amassing votes that often help down-ballot candidates win close races.

But for several popular swing-state Democrats, their popularity could actually help drive turnout in support of President Joe Biden's reelection bid — a reversal of the usual presidential coattail effect.
