Key quote:
Biden’s defiance against calls for him to leave the presidential campaign after last month’s debate have only worsened his chances in November, Cook Editor-in-Chief Amy Walter wrote.
“Biden was losing pre-debate. Now, he’s losing by a bit more,” she said, adding that the possibility Biden leaves the race at this point is “remote.”
Citing postdebate polling, Cook announced it will move Minnesota, New Hampshire and Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District from “Likely Democratic” to “Lean Democratic.” The group also moved Nevada, Arizona and Georgia from “Tossup” to “Lean Republican.”
R2O got a timeout for admitting that his relentless doom posting was agenda based, not because they were wrong. :)
I actually agreed with a lot of the articles posted.
Biden is walking a very fine line and since the debate, he’s on the wrong side of it. He’s confident he will recover, I think that’s delusional.
What I can guarantee will happen next is this:
There will be a bigger bump when he announces his VP pick.
Without the conviction sentencing, the bump will be bigger than expected which will inspire more doom posting and calls for Biden to step aside.
Biden will power through to the Democratic convention in August.
Any more mis-steps or health scares between now and August? That will make it hard to continue.
