The Biden win is bad for the Tories in four big ways.
1. Biden remembers Johnson's racism towards Obama.
2. Biden supports the rules-based global order.
3. Biden represents a win for competence over nationalist bluster.
4. Biden won't rush a trade deal that hurts Irish peace.

Biden dislikes Johnson because Johnson is racist. Remember, he was VP under Obama when Johnson disregarded Obama for being black.
So don't expect Biden to hide his disdain for Johnson behind the scenes or be kind about UK policy.

Biden supports the rules. He's not a radical or extremist like Trump and Johnson. He supports the Western Alliance.
So he supports the WTO and the EU and he will require the UK's rule-breaking government to fall in line or face punishment by our allies.

Biden is an old-school President. Experienced, calm, knowledgeable and competent. That he defeated nationalist bluster even against the advantages of incumbency, is a problem for Tories facing Keir Starmer.
Brexiters clap whatever they are told to. (See them clapping both the WA and its defeat because Johnson said so).
An American trade deal was to be a big clap moment for brexit - despite the deal being terrible. But Biden won't do one now, unless Tories lose on Northern Ireland.
