This is a difficult question for me to answer.
Nothing seems to hurt him.

Himself is a good answer

Other than that, probably Demographic change - in basically every key swing state (except maybe Nevada) it's the Republican and Republican-shifting communities disproportionately losing population, Democratic and Democrat-shifting communities growing the fastest. All these states are becoming actively more diverse, and seeing urban metro areas becoming more dominant and have bigger spheres of cultural influence.

Trump already lost in 2020, but by default these demographic changes likely pad Biden's margins in key states like Georgia by another couple % - by default Trump has to be gaining with new voters all else being equal.

Other than himself, a strong economy.

Why is Biden uniquely toxic, though?

The same thing that lost the Republicans the midterms: Dobbs and democracy.

Dying before election day. Probably a 20% chance at least that this happens.

A 77 year old male has less than a 5% chance of dying in a year, according to the Social Security Administration.  And, that includes those who have a terminal diagnosis.  So, no, a slightly overweight 77 year old in otherwise generally decent health doesn't have anywhere near a 20% chance of dying in a 6 month period.

The chance is reasonably strong that both Trump and Biden are still alive four years from today.

To answer the original question, it's the legal stuff turning up something that's actually a game changer for swing voters.
