REPORT: Top Democrats Are ‘Freaking Out’ About Biden’s Chances Against Trump

Published

on

Top advisors and strategists are reportedly growing increasingly concerned about President Joe Biden’s prospects against former President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. The sentiment, reported by POLITICO, has surfaced amidst a backdrop of challenging polls and fundraising supremacy held by Trump, intensifying concerns as the election looms just five months away.

A deep-seated fear is pervasive among Democrats, including those who were previously confident about Biden’s chances. The party, ensnared in a relentless and joyless campaign grind, now confronts the reality of a potential loss, causing a significant shift in mood at the highest levels. The anxiety is evidenced by a private list maintained by an adviser to major Democratic donors, cataloging nearly two dozen potential reasons for Biden’s defeat, which range from immigration issues and high inflation to concerns over Biden’s age and the unpopularity of Vice President Kamala Harris.

As Trump makes strategic moves, even into traditionally liberal strongholds like New Jersey and New York, aiming to attract Hispanic and Black voters, his campaign’s momentum appears to grow. Trump’s newfound ability to outpace Biden in fundraising—evident after a record-setting $50.5 million event in Palm Beach, Florida—only adds to the Democrats’ woes.

“You don’t want to be that guy who is on the record saying we’re doomed, or the campaign’s bad or Biden’s making mistakes. Nobody wants to be that guy,” explained a Democratic operative with close ties to the White House, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to POLITICO. But Biden’s stubbornly poor polling and the stakes of the election “are creating the freakout,” he said. “This isn’t, ‘Oh my God, Mitt Romney might become president.’ It’s ‘Oh my God, the democracy might end.’”

Trump decisively outpaced Biden in campaign fundraising for April 2024 in a stunning financial surge. His impressive haul of $76 million dwarfed Biden’s $51 million.

Meanwhile, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey (D) has publicly stressed the urgency of their situation, urging Democrats to reassess their commitment and the stakes of this election. During a fundraising event in Boston, which raised over $6 million, Healey implored attendees to increase their financial support to combat the formidable challenge posed by the Republican frontrunner.

“To those of you who opened up your wallets, thank you,” said Healey. “We’d like you to open them up a little bit more and to find more patriots — more patriots who believe in this country, who recognize and understand the challenge presented at this time.”

On the strategic front, Democrats are grappling with how to position themselves. While Biden’s campaign points to some positive polls and efforts on the ground, the overarching narrative remains fraught with skepticism about the effectiveness of these measures. The gap between public confidence and private concern continues to widen as critical voices within the party question whether the current campaign strategy is adequate to secure a win.

In states crucial to electoral success, like Michigan, local Democrats have expressed their concern that Biden’s lukewarm performance could have downstream effects on other Democratic candidates. The sentiment that the current administration’s stability might not be enough to mobilize young voters, who were pivotal in previous elections, adds another layer of concern to the party’s strategy.

Adding to the electoral drama, Trump’s aggressive campaign tactics and incursions into Democratic strongholds signal a shift in the political landscape, challenging the Democrats’ iron grip in these areas. High-profile Democrats in places like New York and California are urging a reevaluation of strategies and acknowledging the need for a more robust defense against Trump’s inroads.
