Biden campaign memo calls Trump ‘wounded, dangerous and unpopular’ general election candidate

Biden campaign officials on Wednesday cited the Super Tuesday results as evidence that former President Trump is a weak general election candidate.

Biden campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon and campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said: “Last night’s Super Tuesday election results confirmed what we’ve known for a long time: Donald Trump “He will be limping into the general election as a wounded, dangerous and unpopular candidate.” he wrote in a memo shared with reporters.

“Republican candidates are cash-strapped, beset by a host of foreign issues, and are facing extreme challenges that have already proven to be a significant burden to key voting blocs critical to winning 270 electoral votes. We are working on the agenda,” the newspaper said. Written by two people.

Trump almost won the Super Tuesday states, with Nikki Haley winning Vermont. President Trump is expected to secure the necessary delegates to become the Republican nominee in the coming weeks, setting up a rematch with President Biden in November.

The former president made no mention of Haley in his victory speech, predicting that Republicans would rally around her and spend hours bashing Biden on immigration, crime and the economy.

Biden has won easily in each Democratic primary, but there are signs of dissatisfaction in states such as Michigan and Minnesota, where a campaign to vote “irresponsible” protested Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. gathered thousands of votes.

Polls show Trump leading Biden in several key battleground states, including Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. Recent polls show Biden leading in Pennsylvania and a close race in Wisconsin.

But Biden campaign officials argued in a memo Wednesday that the choice between Trump and Biden is finally in sight in November.

“Building on last night’s momentum, tomorrow night’s State of the Union address will remind Americans of the tough choices they face in November between a President Biden committed to getting things done for Americans. Donald Trump’s history of failure and bleak vision for this country, while running on the promise of a historically popular accomplishment, are both dangerous and unsustainable in this election. unpopular with the voters who decide the election,” O’Malley Dillon and Rodriguez wrote.

Both men acknowledged that November will be a “very close general election contest,” but pointed to several key factors as evidence that Biden is in a strong position after Super Tuesday.

Biden’s campaign points out that Haley has received thousands of votes in many states, even though the Republican primary is virtually decided, and that the president has been able to form coalitions more effectively than Trump. He claimed to be strengthening it. A high percentage of Haley voters also say they will not vote for Trump in the general election.

The memo also pointed to large differences in campaign finance as a sign of difficulties for Mr. Trump. The Biden campaign brought in record grassroots fundraising in February, leaving the campaign with $130 million in cash on hand as of February.

Meanwhile, Trump is running out of money to pay mounting legal costs, but is expected to receive an infusion of cash if he becomes the presumptive nominee and can consolidate his fundraising efforts with the Republican National Committee. There is.

Biden campaign officials have argued that Biden has a stronger agenda and that polling results prove he is capable of winning in November. The memo notes that Democratic turnout has been high since the June 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, and the issue could become a central element of the November campaign. Highly sexual.

“The path to victory is to not only seek but earn the support of the American people. That means working in every community, meeting with voters on the stakes of this election, and investing everywhere.” wrote O’Malley Dillon and Rodriguez. “We are confident that the president and vice president’s vision of unity, freedom, and progress can once again defeat Donald Trump’s radical and dangerous policies this November.”
