Deep dives
Donald Trump leads in poll against Joe Biden
A recent poll by the Washington Post shows Donald Trump with a 10-point lead over Joe Biden, breaking the perception that Trump had a ceiling of around 46% of the vote. This poll challenges the electability argument against Trump and suggests that he could potentially have broader support than previously believed.
Joe Biden's unpopularity and worsening economic situation
Joe Biden's job approval rating is at a low 37% according to a recent poll. The poll also highlights Americans' concerns over the economy, with only 25% believing it to be excellent or good. Inflation, labor shortages, and other economic issues are contributing to Biden's negative ratings and creating a challenging situation for him as a president.
General Mark Milley's retirement and past controversies
General Mark Milley, former joint chief's chairman, is retiring this month after a tumultuous tenure. Milley faced criticism for his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and for alleged political comments and involvement. While some argue Milley had valid concerns about Russia and the need for diplomatic solutions, others view his actions as detrimental to national security.
The importance of Trump's case for re-election
Donald Trump's best election play is to highlight how things were running well in 2017 to 2019, and that the country has declined under Joe Biden's leadership. Despite the extraneous event of the pandemic, Trump argues that the economy was already booming before he left office. The challenge for Trump is to avoid self-sabotage, as he is seen as his own biggest obstacle to success.
The limited impact of attacks on Trump's rhetoric
Criticism towards Trump's rhetoric and claims of threatening democracy by the White House are unlikely to significantly harm his image, as his supporters believe that mainstream media is biased against him. Additionally, the left's attempt to frame Trump as a greater threat to the press and free speech than Biden is ineffective, since Democrats have faced criticism for attempts to limit free speech rights. Thus, attacks on Trump's rhetoric are unlikely to sway Republican voters, who see him as a mud monster that cannot be easily tarnished.
Donald Trump leaps to a 10 point lead over Joe Biden in the latest Washington Post poll; General Mark Milley finally leaves; and Senator Bob Menendez won’t go, even if you find bars of gold under his bed.
