> Biden was going for a Hail Mary on this one.

Not a chance. Look at the timing. He was going for driving young college educated voters to the polls for the midterms. It worked exactly as planned.

Since the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class as a whole, they rely on mobilizing the college-educated minority, which is loyal in spirit but unreliable when it comes to actually placing votes. Until something changes, the Democratic Party will drum up a new cause every 2 years (based on their available resources at the time) targeted at this demographic, and it won't always work, but it did this time.
