Other differences:

Biden will not likely use the too-ugly-to-assault defense.

Has Reade been publicly harassed yet by "liberal" reporters delving into her past, searching for anything to discredit her? Has she had to move yet because of the harassing phone calls and death threats?

My interest is in how Trump supporters/defenders construct equivalences between Biden and Trump, now that Biden is "just as bad."

Those who do not immediately assent to equivalence--Will this be more "proof' that condemnation of Trump for two dozen allegations of assault and continuous public denigration of women who criticized him was always just partisanship and "hypocrisy"? Assault is ok when it's their guy? ("ok" meaning they wait for investigation rather than condemning Biden immediately.)
