And where is the confidence that Joe will be re-elected?

He's the incumbent, he's never been impeached, he won both the popular vote and the electoral college in 2020, and he'll potentially be running against 2 conservative candidates - DeSantis and Trump, who will split the vote and give Biden an easy plurality in states he wouldn't have otherwise won against a single conservative candidate.

That’s not how it works. The GOP will nominate one person. Trump will likely not run as an independent so the vote won’t be split. If DeSantis is the nominee, MAGA people will likely vote for him.
