American teenagers dressed as President Biden and his bodyguards created an image of President Biden falling (pictured above). At a Halloween event in New York, a citizen holds up a sign that reads ‘Terms he must serve: Prisoner Donald.’ TikTok video capture · New York = One year ahead of the US presidential election to be held on November 5 next year, it was found that President Joe Biden is mostly behind former President Donald Trump in ‘swing state’ opinion polls that will determine the winner of the presidential election.

Within the ruling Democratic Party, doubts were raised about President Biden’s competitiveness in the presidential election, and some even argued that he should give up his bid for re-election.

The NYT predicted that if this public opinion in the competitive states continues until next year’s presidential election, former President Trump will be able to secure 300 electoral votes, much more than the ‘magic number’ (the number of electoral votes that must be secured to be elected) of 270.
President Biden has made his economic policy ‘Bidenomics’ and the stability that can manage the Middle East war the core of his re-election campaign, but he also received lower evaluations than former President Trump in both areas. When asked, ‘Of the two candidates, whose economic policies do you trust more?’ 59% of voters in six battleground states chose former President Trump, showing a wide gap with President Biden (37%).

Regarding the opinion poll by NYT, a leading US daily newspaper, the Democratic Party is in a state of turmoil, saying that the ‘Biden risk’ has become a reality. Former White House senior advisor David Axelrod, who was in charge of former President Obama’s presidential election strategy and led to his victory, publicly argued on this day that President Biden should resign from the 2024 presidential race. Axelrod said on Social Media
Biden campaign spokesman Kevin Muñoz issued a rebuttal. He told the U.S. Internet media Axios, “In the past, (opinion polling company) Gallup also predicted that candidate Obama would lose by 8 percentage points a year before the presidential election, but he won comfortably a year later.”
There were even reports that former President Trump, who is showing a leading result in recent opinion polls, has started creating a murder list for the purpose of punishing political traitors if he is re-elected. On this day, the Washington Post (WP), citing an anonymous official, reported that former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, former Attorney General William Barr, and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, who were once Trump’s close associates but turned against him, are subject to investigation when he returns to power. . Former President Trump also plans to appoint a special prosecutor to pressure President Biden and his family, and is also planning to use the ‘Riot Suppression Act’ to deploy the military in preparation for protests against his inauguration. WP reported that they are looking into it.
