President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is facing scrutiny as top campaign officials refuse to release internal polls that purportedly show Biden can win the 2024 race against Donald Trump. Quentin Fulks, Biden’s principal deputy campaign manager, maintains that the President remains a viable candidate and dismisses reports suggesting that more top Democrats want him to withdraw from the race.
Fulks emphasizes that it does not matter whether voters are motivated by Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris, as the focus remains on securing a victory in the upcoming election. He confidently asserts that Biden will be the nominee and is poised to defeat Trump once again. This assurance comes despite Biden’s previous statement that he would exit the race if advised by his team that he has no path to victory.
In California, Biden’s support remains steadfast following the June 27th debate with Trump. Despite calls from some top Democrats for Biden to drop out, a recent survey by the Public Policy Institute of California shows that Biden’s support among California voters remains unchanged at 55 percent. Trump’s support in the state also remains steady at 30 percent, with 11 percent of likely voters preferring an alternative candidate. This consistency reflects the broader sentiment in one of the most populous and influential states in the union.
The Biden campaign’s decision to withhold internal polling data has fueled speculation and debate about the President’s prospects. However, Fulks’ statements aim to project confidence and stability within the campaign. As the election approaches, both Biden and Trump prepare for a rematch that is anticipated to be as contentious and closely watched as their 2020 face-off.
The political landscape is further complicated by the internal divisions within the Democratic Party and the ongoing legal challenges faced by Trump. The dynamics of the 2024 race will likely be shaped by these factors, as well as the evolving strategies of both campaigns.
