Favreau Claims Biden Polls Show Trump Victory

On the podcast 'Pod Save America,' Jon Favreau revealed that President Biden's internal polling indicated that Donald Trump would secure 400 electoral votes in a potential matchup, suggesting a significant electoral defeat for Biden. Favreau criticized Biden's reelection bid as a 'catastrophic mistake,' arguing that his inner circle failed to recognize Biden's unpopularity and the public's discontent with rising inflation. Despite internal warnings, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him after dropping out of the race. Following the election, Harris only managed to secure 226 electoral votes, while Trump won at least 295 votes, along with the popular vote. The Democratic blame game has intensified post-election, with some Democrats questioning Harris's economic messaging and Pelosi suggesting Biden should have exited the race earlier to allow for other candidates. The implications of this polling and the subsequent electoral results are raising concerns about the Democratic strategy moving forward.
