President Biden Trolls Republicans After Democrats Secure Election Victories
At a fundraising event in Chicago on Thursday, President Biden took a moment to troll Republicans after Democrats secured several victories on election night.
“Democrats had an incredible night once again,” Biden said at the event, highlighting wins in Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and touting Democrats outperforming Republicans.
“What happened on Tuesday is not unusual,” Biden said, indicating that the wins were not unexpected.
He also took a swipe at former President Trump, saying, “We haven’t stopped winning, and he hasn’t stopped losing.” Biden referenced recent polling that places him narrowly trailing behind Trump, but reassured donors that they are not making a mistake by supporting him.
A recent CNN poll found Trump polling at 49 percent to Biden’s 45 among registered voters in a hypothetical rematch between the 2020 election competitors. Additionally, a New York Times/Siena College poll found Trump leading Biden in five out of six critical battleground states.
The Kentucky governor’s race was one of the closely watched races in Tuesday’s election, seen as an indication of how Democrats in red states can fare and a preview of the upcoming election cycle for the left.
As the 2024 election cycle looms, Biden’s comments and the recent election victories are a signal of Democratic momentum. Despite trailing in some polls, Biden remains confident in his party’s ability to secure victories.
