Democrats appear to be scrambling as Donald Trump considers whether to run for president again in 2024.
Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton issued a major warning, claiming a Trump victory in 2024 “could be the end of our democracy.”
“If I were a betting person right now, I’d say Trump is going to run again,” she told NBC host Willie Geist.
“He seems to be setting himself up to do that, and if he’s not held accountable, he gets to do it again.”
“I think that could be the end of our democracy,” she said. “Not too be too pointed about it, but I want people to understand that this could be a make-or-break point.”
“If he or someone of his ilk were once again to be elected president, especially if he had a Congress that would do his bidding, you will not recognize our country.”
“I tried to warn people,” Clinton said, reflecting on her loss to Trump in 2016.
“I tried to make the case that this was really dangerous — the people he was allied with, what they were saying, what he might do. I do think but for Jim Comey and the stunt he pulled 10 days before the election, I would have won,” she said.
Even though Clinton beat Trump on the popular vote by nearly 2.9 million votes, Trump received the majority of votes in swing states and the majority of electoral college votes.
“Clearly, there were people who liked what they saw, despite what I see as the real dangers to our country,” she said.
“They turned out and voted for him. And he’s trying to get it set up so that will happen again for him, even as he loses, as he did twice the popular vote.”
Trump holds a commanding lead over other potential 2024 GOP presidential hopefuls in Iowa, according to a new survey.
The survey asked likely Iowa GOP caucus-goers who they would support in 2024.
Trump received 55.7 percent of the survey, according to pollster Rick Shaftan of Neighborhood Research and Media.
This leads his next closest possible rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, by more than 40 percent. DeSantis received 12.3 percent in the survey.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem came in third place at 2.1 percent. No other candidate gets more than 2 percent and 20.8 percent are undecided.
Prior to the 2024 election, a “red wave” is possible during the upcoming mid-term elections. There is only one year remaining until the midterm elections. Polls indicate that Democrats are in serious jeopardy of losing control of Congress.
According to a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll, Joe Biden is receiving nearly “rock-bottom approval ratings,” Fox News reports.
Kamala Harris’ numbers are even worse as Democrats trail by a wide margin on the generic congressional ballot. Only 37.8% of those surveyed approved of Biden’s job performance while 59% disapproved. He is more than 21 points underwater.
Harris received a 27.8% approval rating with 51.2% disapproving of her performance in office, according to USA Today/Suffolk University. This is more than 23 percentage points underwater, the report adds.
Public Opinion Strategies pollster Glen Bolger confirmed that they can track election outcomes based on presidential polling with close accuracy.
With Biden’s sinking approval, Democrats are likely to lose about the 41 seats Trump lost, Washington Examiner reports.
This is 34 more seats than the GOP needs to take control of the House of Representatives. Polls reveal that many Americans are furious with Joe Biden. Biden is forcing private employees to receive the coronavirus vaccine via a shot in the arm. This “new federal vaccine requirement” impacts as many as 100 million Americans.
Biden also insulted the American people by saying they’re stupid if they choose not to receive the vaccine. “You’re not nearly as smart as I thought you were,” Biden said to those who were unvaccinated in July of 2021.
Following Biden’s disastrous handling of the U.S. troop withdrawal, the catastrophe at the southern border, and the surge in coronavirus cases, polls show how the American people feel about his job performance.
Biden’s approval rating has been in decline since May. More Americans disapprove of Biden than at any other point in his presidency, according to a YouGov survey. Democrats reportedly have hope to turn the situation around based on their plan to significantly increase social welfare and infrastructure spending.
