Click here for an article at Substack by Robert Reich entitled "Trump v. Biden: How worried should we be?" and subtitled "No reason to panic. Biden will win the 2024 election."
There's a lot of sturm und drang among Democrats, particularly after -- as Reich points out -- a New York Times poll that came out on the weekend showing "that Biden is now trailing Trump by 4 to 10 points among registered voters in the key battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania."
Yes, it's alarming; but Reich goes on to urge calm. It would be a huge mistake if Democrats were to toss Biden because of sudden fear and panic. He closes:
The reality is that Biden is the only person who has beaten Trump. Biden is the incumbent president with all the advantages of incumbency. Biden has shown himself to be a strong campaigner. There is no one to take his place.
If Biden simply continues to be the adult in the room — governing maturely and responsibly — more of the American public will eventually come around to him, including in the swing states. And the more they see that Trump is increasingly unhinged, they will decide that they’d rather have a competent adult in charge.
So my advice is not to panic, not to unduly worry. Biden will need to work hard for it, and the rest of us will have to work very hard in support of him, but Biden will win in 2024.
