Dewey Defeats Biden
Derek Hunter
Have you seen the polls? Everyone beats Joe Biden in next year’s election, even you! OK, maybe not you, but everyone else does. That means Republicans will reclaim the White House, and everything will be great again, right? Not so fast. The weird thing about elections is you actually have to have them before you can determine their outcome. I know it’s unfortunate and quite the pain, but those are the rules.
Never spike the football on the 5-yard line, as the saying goes. Sadly and hilariously, history is riddled with people who did just that. The most famous non-football spiking was by the Chicago Daily Tribune in 1948 with their “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline. Deadlines can really put pressure on people to get things done more than to get things right.
But the 2024 election has no deadline, at least not yet. It won’t happen until next November 5th, no matter how excited about or fearful over it anyone gets. That means all the polling in the world matters as much as what you had for dinner last night does regarding its outcome.
That’s why the latest round of polling showing President Joe Biden losing to everyone means exactly nothing right now.
