Biden has had one of the worst couple week stretches of any sitting president electorally so in my mind the polling makes sense. It will be interesting to see now that the decision to stay in the race seems to be made if he snaps back somehow from this. He was losing all the swing states or effectively tied prior to the debate though so he needs to exceed that position to actually win. Does the news cycle move on or is it going to focus on this issue for 4 months?
Hard to see that happening but a lot can happen in 4 months.
Meh, if they have a trifecta and less than 60 they’ll nuke the filibuster to get their agenda through. Nationwide abortion ban will just be the start. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised to see them do something like divide Wyoming into 10 states to get more senators locked in forever.
The party, unfortunately, foreclosed this possibility in 2020. And Biden’s decline was completely foreseeable then. Like I’m sorry, but the Democrats deserve to lose this election. It is, of course, a shame that the only person in a position to deliver that comeuppance is Trump.
To be honest, many of the calls for Biden to step aside scan to me as veiled expressions of a preference for Trump as head administrator of the present stage of capitalism (I remain skeptical of claims that this is a “late stage” of capitalism–there is scant, if any, evidence of its decline).
Realistically they shouldn’t need to. They can pass tax cuts with 51 votes already which is basically their whole agenda. Anything else DJT can just do by executive fiat and SCOTUS will allow it.
Hmm, never heard of that model, let me look that guy up, I thought to myself.
Logan founded RacetotheWH when he was a graduate student at Columbia. He started building the foundation for the website during his Presidential Campaign Management class taught by Professor Karrine Jeanne Pierre, who would later become President Biden’s Press Secretary.
Am I the only one who finds it bizarre how many statements from various Ds seem to amount to “yeah there some big concerns and we probably fucked but we not doing anything about it”
Like I get they may feel they can’t or won’t do anything about it but in that case why not trot out something more optimistic?
