The article doesn't touch on Hillary's two biggest flaws, the biggest reasons she lost in 2016: She is criminal and she is inherently dislikable. On her best day, Hillary could never have won an election to City Council on her own. Her political successes ALL stem from being married to Bill.

Joe Biden doesn't have these faults. He got where he is mostly on his own. Biden has faults, but not the Godzilla-sized ones that made Hillary Clinton one of the few Democrats in the world able to lose to Donald Trump in 2016.

Unfortunately for Democrats, defeating him in 2020 will be a much tougher challenge. He now has the powers of the White House working for him, a sizeable record of successes, a GOP that supports him, and a public that no longer believes the idea of Donald Trump as President to be completely implausible. It's never easy to beat an incumbent President. Even Ronald Reagan failed to do it the first time he tried (against Ford) though he succeeded in his second attempt (against Carter), and the Democratic Party doesn't appear to have anyone who holds a candle to him.
