- Party mandate: After the midterm elections, the incumbent party holds more seats in the US House of Representatives than after the previous midterm elections.
- Contest: There is no serious contest for the incumbent party nomination.

According to the American University’s website, the 13 keys are:

- Party mandate: Americans say we're on the wrong track Which does NOt answer the original question, Dan.  This is a win for Biden, since so many Republicans have been quitting early.
- Contest: RFK Jr., Wendy Williamson Once again, NOT the question.  Biden is the Incumbent and he had no opponent.  Trump did, so Biden wins this one.
- Incumbency: The incumbent party candidate is the sitting president.  Another WIN for Biden
- Third-party: RFK Jr., Jill Stein, Cornell West  Unless they are in double digits, they are NOT a threat.  so biden wins this one too.
- Short term economy: The economy is significantly slowing  Maybe, but it's to be the economy at Election Time - 6 months from now.
- Long-term economy: Real per capita economic growth during the term is outpaced by inflation True
- Policy change - Passed infrastructure bill, jobs bill, guns regulation bill, CHIPS Bill, COVID Bill, over-the-counter emergency contraception, forced a cut in fees levied by airlines, cable companies, concert ticket-sellers and hotels, etc
- Social unrest: There is sustained social unrest - Hamas/Nazi demonstrations.  This is NOTHING Like what we had under Trump.
- Scandal: The incumbent administration is mired in corruption scandals Trump had this in spades.  Not one indictment in boden Administration.
- Foreign/military failure: The incumbent administration suffers several major failure in foreign or military affairs.  Ukraine is seen as a success, but we will have to wait 6 months to see if anything else pops up.  Israel/Hamas could be LONG gone by then.
- Foreign/military success: The incumbent administration achieves no major success in foreign or military affairs.  So far.
- Incumbent charisma: The incumbent party candidate is not charismatic or a national hero. Actually, Joe is very charismatic, or was.  Still has it somewhat, but he looks stellar compared to Trump.  And Joe DID get the Medal of Freedom.  Trump got fucked, or gave himself trophies.
- Challenger charisma: The challenging party candidate is a charismatic or a national hero. As above, Trump is disgusting, mean, and whines about everything.  Any charisma he had is LONG gone.  Trump is NOT a national hero, except in his own mind.

So in summary, the key factors are not favoring Biden.  That’s the point.
