Remember, it's not just Biden's performance that's going to be judged, since he isn't on the ballot. It's going to be an "all of the above." The ongoing border crisis, the (likely) coming inflation, the lingering resentments over lockdowns and fighting to get schools reopened, the anti-police crusade, and any other gifts the Leftists in Congress and his administration give Republicans--and the corresponding votes forced on Democratic representatives from swing districts--is almost certain to give Republicans the House at least. (Not that they should kick back and take it easy--as Pelosi is learning, having a slim majority is worse in some ways than being in the majority.)
All of which explains the Left's fight to abolish the filibuster. They know their time in control of both Congress and the Presidency is likely limited, and want to get as much of their agenda rammed through as they can, whatever it takes. Which just helps make their loss of control all the more likely.

Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.
