CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 8, 2023
NEW POLLING FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES AND SIENA COLLEGE SHOW PRESIDENT BIDEN IN DEEP TROUBLE WITH SOME OF HIS BASE, WHO ARE CRITICAL IF HE IS TO BE RE-ELECTED. IT ALSO SHOWS FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AHEAD OF BIDEN IN FOUR KEY SWING STATES – NEVADA, ARIZONA, MICHIGAN AND GEORGIA.
THE ELECTION IS ONE YEAR AWAY AND A LOT CAN CHANGE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN TRUMP’S LEGAL ISSUES, BUT DEMOCRATS ARE WORRIED. BIDEN HAS LOST SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT AMONG BLACKS, HISPANICS AND ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG.
FORMER OBAMA AIDE DAVID AXELROD HAS GONE SO FAR AS TO CALL ON BIDEN TO ANNOUNCE HE IS WITHDRAWING FROM THE RACE. THAT’S WHAT LYNDON JOHNSON DID IN 1968 WHEN POLLING SHOWED HE WAS NOT GOING TO BEAT RICHARD NIXON.
I DOUBT THAT WILL HAPPEN, BUT IN POLITICS ANTHING CAN. YOU CAN BET THE MEDIA AND THEIR DEMOCRAT ALLIES WILL DO EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING TO BOOST BIDEN, OR IF HE STEPS ASIDE, ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT WHO WINS THE NOMINATION. THE NEW YORK TIMES AND WASHINGTON POST ARE FULL OF STORIES ABOUT DEMOCRATS AND LITTLE ELSE. WHEN THEY PAY ATTENTION TO REPUBLICANS IT’S ALWAYS A NEGATIVE TWIST.
BIDEN’S OPEN BORDER, GAS PRICES AND INFLATION ARE THE ISSUES AND BIDEN IS LOSING ON ALL OF THEM. I’M CAL THOMAS.
