Internal polling by the Democrat Party has revealed the sheer scale of President Joe Biden’s possible defeat to Republican rival Donald Trump.
The leaked memo reveals a comfortable victory for the former president with a 333-205 victory in the Electoral College, with Trump taking most swing states along with Republican strongholds on his projected path to victory. These include previously Democratic-leaning states such as New Hampshire, Virginia, and New Mexico, while Trump reportedly leads the President by seven points in the crucial states of Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Following a disastrous debate in front of the nation on CNN, Biden now trails fellow Democrats Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg in the battleground states. Remarkably, he also trails Vice President Kamala Harris who has struggled to win over the American electorate throughout her tenure, according to internal polling.
Social media users were keen to offer their insight for the poll which is bound to dishearten many of the President’s fiercest allies.
Others noted the possibility of Trump securing a majority similar to previous Republican successes.
Some also questioned the internal polling, believing it to be a way to turn the results in Biden’s favor.
Biden is facing increasing pressure from within the Democratic Party amid concerns of a rejuvenating Trump. His performance in the Thursday, June 27 debate raised questions over a potential successor, with California Gov. Newsom tipped for the role. Any decision to step down must be made by the President himself before the party’s convention in August.
