When he floated the notion of expanding the Supreme Court, FDR was vastly more popular than Biden is. You can see how that went.

Your last sentence isn't supported by history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_switch_in_time_that_saved_... Plus of course aligned with your first sentence FDR got reelected after that. Twice.

I rate these decisions as the first decisive break from what FDR wrought in the 1930s.
