First Lady Jill Biden recently appeared on 'CBS Mornings' to address concerns regarding President Biden's re-election campaign amidst polling showing former President Donald Trump leading in six out of seven battleground states. When questioned about the polling results, the first lady confidently stated that President Biden is not losing in all battleground states and is actually gaining momentum.
She emphasized that as the election draws closer and voters focus on their choices, it will become evident that President Biden is the stronger candidate. Mrs. Biden expressed her belief that President Biden will be re-elected, dismissing any worries about his re-election efforts.
The Wall Street Journal poll released on Tuesday revealed that Trump is currently leading in key states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. However, Biden was tied with Trump in Wisconsin, with no leads in the other battleground states surveyed.
Reports have indicated that President Biden himself has shown frustration and concern over his re-election efforts. In a January meeting, he reportedly reacted strongly to a dip in his poll numbers in Michigan and Georgia, particularly related to his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Despite this, sources have highlighted Biden's long-standing success in politics and emphasized the importance of allowing him to be himself on the campaign trail.
Democrats have also expressed concerns about Biden's age and energy, leading to closed-door meetings with top donors to address anxieties about the upcoming election. Despite challenges and criticisms, President Biden remains focused on highlighting his accomplishments and connecting with voters as he prepares for the 2024 election.
