The White House is blaming the pandemic and Russia’s war with Ukraine as just some of the reasons as to why President Biden’s poll numbers are lagging in key swing states as he closes out the final year of his current term in office.

White House press secretary Karen Jean-Pierre came up with the excuses at Tuesday’s White House press briefing when Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy quizzed her about Biden’s alarming numbers.

A recent New York Times/Siena College/Philadelphia Inquirer poll found former President Trump ahead of Biden in Georgia, Nevada and Arizona. The poll also found Trump ahead by three points in Pennsylvania and by one point in Wisconsin, among likely voters. Biden leads Trump by one point in Michigan, according to the Times.

The results of the poll were described as "an absolute disaster" by CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten. Biden narrowly won all six critical states in 2020. Should Trump win them in 2024 and hold other states he'd won from that year, he would take back the White House.

Trump takes shot at Alan Dershowitz over being a Democrat: 'Ought to have your brain examined'

Donald Trump took a shot at Alan Dershowitz over identifying as a Democrat as the ex-president read aloud several news clippings after he left court on Tuesday.

"Alan Dershowitz, a great gentleman," Trump began outside the courtroom. "This is election interference at the most obvious...and every American no matter whether you're on the Trump team or against him, whatever political affiliation it is and he goes on to say he's a Democrat, he can't be right about everything.

"He's making a big mistake. If you're Jewish, and you're a Democrat -- and that includes Alan Dershowitz -- you ought to have your head examined when you see what's going on with Israel."

The former president proceeded to read several more news clippings that sided with him in the "hush money" trial.
