President Joe Biden remains confident in his ability to win the upcoming election, despite uncertainties surrounding the potential matchup between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Sources close to Biden have revealed that he holds a strong belief in his favorability among White, working-class voters, a key coalition that propelled him to victory in 2020.
Biden is convinced that he could have secured the crucial Blue Wall states that are now seen as essential for Harris's potential victory. Reflecting on the 2016 election, Biden and his advisers are of the opinion that had he been the Democratic candidate instead of Hillary Clinton, Trump would not have been able to secure a first term or entertain thoughts of a return to office.
During the leadup to the 2016 race, Biden was dealing with personal grief over the loss of his son, Beau, while Clinton was busy building her campaign infrastructure and garnering support from former President Barack Obama. Despite the circumstances, Biden's confidence in his ability to connect with voters and secure crucial swing states remains unwavering.
When questioned about whether Biden fears being held responsible for the outcome of the election if Harris does not emerge victorious, a senior aide to the president emphasized that Biden's primary concern is the well-being of the country in such a scenario.
President Biden's belief in his electoral strength and his commitment to the welfare of the nation underscore his determination to navigate the current political landscape with a focus on unity and progress.
