Biden’s Campaign Says Read the Memo: Debate ‘Did Not Change the Horse Race’

Simon Kent 30 Jun 2024

President Joe Biden’s campaign team released a memo Saturday claiming the octogenarian’s underwhelming showing in the first presidential debate for 2024 “did not change the horse race.”

The Hill reports Biden campaign chief Jen O’Malley Dillon delivered the missive, stating the time has come to move on:

    Flash polls from CNN, 538, SurveyUSA, Morning Consult, and Data for Progress show what we expected: The debate did not change the horse race.

    This mirrors what the campaign’s internal post-debate polling showed: The president maintained his support among his 2020 voters and voters’ opinions were not changed.

The memo runs contrary to a slew of media and political observations – including Democrats – that Biden’s showing again former President Donald Trump was an unmitigated disaster.

He stumbled over his words, was loose with the facts, and at times seemed to be totally disengaged from the task at hand.

I saw the chart below today, was wondering where to put it -- will fit right in here.

In these now Divided States of America, the "two [political] sides" have become so embedded, so "inured", that huge blocs of voters are now "magnetized". That is to say, the "name" of the candidate doesn't matter, nor do the politics, platform or even the perceived competence of said candidate.

The magnet voters (on both sides) will by default swing towards their corresponding poles. They cannot become "de-magnetized", even by "a performance" as bad as was ol' white joe's the other evening.

Look at this chart:


In nearly every matchup, "the difference" between Mr. Trump and the dem/communist candidate is... 3%.
Two matchups... 2%.

Of course there is "the mushy independent middle", and this time around, the "breakaways" who will vote for Bobby jr. and Cornell West.

But it's well-nigh impossible to gauge the sentiments of "the independents", who by nature are unable to commit themselves to any candidate almost right up to the last moment. They will "wave like the wheat" and bend to and fro with the prevailing political winds...

Not believing the 'chart' for a second.
