https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/07/20/biden-weaker-trump-2020-swing-states/ Opinion: Charting Biden’s weakness in swing states compared with four years ago In one key race after another, Biden is running far behind his 2020 performance against Donald Trump. By Jonathan Greenberg July 20, 2024 at 3:51 p.m. EDT Jonathan Greenberg is an investigative journalist and CEO of Progressive Source Communications. President Biden has resisted calls by leading Democrats and pundits to step aside and make room for a younger, stronger candidate. These calls are not signs of disrespect for Biden; they reflect a determination to defeat former president Donald Trump. Biden’s inner ring of loyalists deny that polls show alarming weakness — but they are reading the data the wrong way. By comparing Biden’s position today with polls from four years ago, the president’s weakness becomes plain. In the seven swing states where the election will likely be decided, Biden is trailing his 2020 numbers by margins of up to 14 points. Given that Biden’s 2020 electoral college victory came down to three states where his margin was less than one point, this double-digit erosion is a disaster in the making. And if these numbers were not bad enough, in 2016 and 2020 the polls underestimated Trump’s strength. In 2020, national poll averages right before the election predicted Biden would win by 8.6 points. He won by only 4.4. That history would suggest the situation is even more lopsided than the current polling data shows.
Oh my god Biden thought there were airports during the Revolutionary war! he's crazy! How can you vote for him? How can you support him??? The media narrative!!! Anyone who can back a guy like that is a sheep and brainwashed dullard. Oh wait - Trump said it? oh, haha - he just messed up his words.

Top Biden Aide Had $4 Million Incentive to Secure a 2024 Win Mike Donilon was promised a bonus that would have doubled his payment for work on the campaign if the former president had been re-elected. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/us/politics/mike-donilon-biden-2024-bonus.html excerpt: Mike Donilon, the longtime strategist and confidant for former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., told congressional investigators Thursday that he would have received a $4 million bonus had Mr. Biden won re-election last year. That shows how Mr. Donilon held a financial interest in Mr. Biden’s remaining in the presidential race, all while Mr. Donilon was part of a very small inner circle of aides who kept damaging information from Mr. Biden. Mr. Donilon had also warned him that his “biggest issue is the perception of age.” The admission from Mr. Donilon, revealed by a person briefed on his testimony who also confirmed that Mr. Donilon said he was paid $4 million for his work on the campaign, came during testimony before a House Republican-led Oversight Committee investigation into Mr. Biden’s mental acuity during his term in office. It was earlier reported by Axios. Mr. Donilon was among the Biden aides who resisted calls for him to end his re-election campaign even after a debate performance that prompted a swell of opposition from within the Democratic Party. As recently as March, well after Mr. Biden left office, Mr. Donilon told The Harvard Political Review that Mr. Biden should have remained in the race and could still serve as president. “I still think he’s the best person to be president today,” Mr. Donilon said then. *** Mr. Donilon, through an aide, declined to be interviewed. Mr. Biden’s spokesman also declined to comment. more at the link
