My Friday LOL Short this week deals with the uncomfortable subject of what will Democrats do if President Biden’s poll numbers keep struggling in early 2024?
As someone who believes the Biden Administration has exceeded my expectations, the facts are that Biden remains neck-and-neck with Trump in several polls.
Which is why I don’t think it’s wrong for Democrats to strategize a Plan B in case Biden’s numbers remain low. We’re talking about fighting against the MAGA Christian Nationalist fascist movement, and saving our democratic institutions.
Even more, Democrats have a deep bench of strong future leaders who are already fighting against MAGA in their home states, and scoring major victories, including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
