The could well do.

Polls are tight between Biden and Trump.

Interesting how some republicans are not using the president's name when they are discussing the next election. Instead they are saying "President Harris".

It'll come down to 7 states and he's popular in most of them above 45%.

Way too close to relax imo.

Maybe enough Gen Z will be mad at losing their rights to vote against him but people are fickle..

All of the signs are pointing to a Democratic sweep and worse case scenario still has Biden winning comfortably. When Kansas votes for the right to choose it's pretty obvious their platform doesn't mesh with anything close to what the voters want.

The Young Turks have an interesting take on the likelihood of Trump becoming the next president of the United States. They believe that the vote in swing states is going to be close enough that it's possible that Trump might well win in 2024. To counter this, they hope that the trial for Trump's 1/6 indictments is made public. TYT correctly point out that conservative voters have been isolated from reality by their go to "news" outlets. If the trial is covered live they feel that this first time exposure to the reality of what Trump has done - as will be attested by numerous former Trump White House officials and other witnesses - might actually persuade some small percent of them to change their minds.

Meanwhile, I like to look at betting odds as a sanity check on predictions. The latest:

I just now brought up a Fox News article about Trump's 1/6 indictment: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-pleads-not-guilty-charges-special-counsel-jan-6-probe

Strange thing... all the comments seem to be in favor of Trump being charged. Many posts make clear that this isn't a first amendment free speech issue, but rather an issue of the illegal activities Trump engaged in, in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Quite shocking - I've no idea what to make of this.

This is why the world is fucked boys and girls.

Totally agree. Trump is not only a loon, but a dangerous loon at that.

The world doesn't need him anywhere near the Whitehouse. Hopefully, locked up and disgraced soon, and then forgotten about.
