Preponderance of evidence means more likely than not. It’s the standard used in civil cases.
Lack of reasonable doubt is otherwise known as beyond a reasonable doubt is the standard for criminal cases.
These are significantly different and quite distinct ideas.

Yes, they are different, but that doesn't help in this case. In fact, reasonable doubt is more damming to Biden.
