Biden Just Got Horrendous News - Could Immediately End His Campaign
According to a recent poll, former President Donald Trump is leading former President Joe Biden in Texas by double the margin he had four years ago in the race for Texas’ forty electoral votes.
Additionally, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is ahead of Democratic challenger Rep. Colin Allred by six points in a crucial Senate race, according to a Marist College study released this month. The GOP is aiming to regain the majority in the Senate in the upcoming November elections.
Texas witnessed the narrowest victory for a Republican presidential candidate in nearly 25 years when Trump defeated Biden there in 2020 by approximately 5.5 points.
The Marist survey indicates that among registered voters, Trump leads Biden by 11 points (55%–44%) in the presidential race. However, Trump’s lead narrows to 7 points (53%–46%) among those who say they will definitely vote in the November election.
“Independents, who Biden carried by 6 percentage points in 2020, now break for Trump. Trump receives 56% of Texas independents to 41% for Biden,” the Marist release notes.
According to the study, Trump’s support among Black and Latino voters has significantly increased, while Biden appears to have lost momentum with younger voters.
The poll shows that among registered voters, Cruz, the conservative firebrand running for a third six-year term as senator from Texas, leads Allred by a margin of 51% to 45%.
Allred, a former NFL player and three-term congressman from a suburban Dallas district, trails Cruz by nearly the same margin among probable voters.
“Among independents, Cruz (50%) is up by eight percentage points against Allred (42%),” a Marist release highlights. “There is a wide gender gap. Cruz (59%) carries men by 21 percentage points over Allred (38%). Allred (52%) tops Cruz (44%) among women.”
Despite Cruz's controversial nature, he holds a 45%–43% favorable/unfavorable rating in the latest survey, while Allred remains relatively unknown. Fifty-three percent of those polled said they had never heard of Allred or didn’t know enough about him to form an opinion.
Ahead of the start of early voting in the fall, Trump accepted Biden’s invitation to participate in two debates earlier this week. However, several influential Democrats have expressed concerns about the arrangement, possibly due to Biden’s perceived decline in mental capacity.
Following Trump’s announcement, Biden tweeted that he “received and accepted an invitation” from CNN to participate in a debate on June 27. “It’s your turn, Donald. Anytime, anyplace, as you mentioned,” wrote Biden.
The proposed plan deviates from the longstanding tradition of the commission hosting three fall debates, as first outlined by the Biden-Harris campaign in a letter to the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday morning.
Trump told Fox News after the announcement that he would accept Biden’s suggested schedule.
“Crooked Joe Biden is the worst debater I have ever faced – he can’t put two sentences together,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “Crooked is also the worst president in the history of the United States, by far.”
Trump also stated, “it is time for a debate to take place – even if it has to be held through the offices of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which are totally controlled by Democrats and who, as people remember, got caught cheating with me with debate sound levels.”
“I’m ready to go,” Trump said. “The dates that they proposed are fine. Anywhere. Anytime. Any place. Let’s see if Joe can make it to the stand-up podium.”
Some Democrats are raising questions. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shared her thoughts about the debates on Wednesday.
“I myself would never recommend going on stage with Donald Trump, but the president has decided that’s what he wants to do,” Pelosi said, according to Fox News. “I think the format he is suggesting is a good one.”
Additionally, the California Democrat suggested that instead of a debate, each candidate should have “separate town hall meetings” where voters can “challenge them with questions about the future.”
