At a fundraising event held on a Thursday evening in Chicago, President Biden playfully teased Republicans in the wake of significant Democratic victories during the recent election night. With enthusiasm, Biden proclaimed the outstanding performance of Democrats, highlighting their wins in Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
With a touch of political wit, he remarked, “What transpired on Tuesday is not an anomaly.” President Biden couldn’t resist drawing a comparison with his predecessor, stating, “We continue to triumph, while he continues to face setbacks.”
The President made reference to recent polling data, which indicated a close race between him and former President Trump. However, he sought to reassure donors, assuring them that their support for him was well-placed and not a mistake.
In a recent CNN poll, Trump garnered 49 percent of the support among registered voters in a hypothetical rematch against Biden, who secured 45 percent. Additionally, a poll conducted by the New York Times/Siena College found Trump leading Biden in five out of six crucial battleground states, setting the stage for the 2024 election’s potential outcome.
The election night featured several closely watched races, with the Kentucky governor’s contest serving as a notable barometer of how Democrats might fare in traditionally Republican-leaning states and offering insights into the upcoming election cycle for progressive candidates.
