Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump said Wednesday night, without evidence, that the debates have always been “very heavily rigged” in favor of President Biden.
Early Wednesday morning, Biden and former President Trump agreed to participate in two presidential debates. The first will be on CNN on June 27th, and the second on ABC on September 10th.
“The scales have always tipped against Donald Trump,” Lara Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ “Hannity.” But she indicated that her father-in-law, a former president, was ready to fight a competitor.
“And this year, more than ever, with all the legal issues and everything we’ve seen against him, in a kind of crazy way, Sean, they’re really preparing for this moment. Because he’s not afraid of anything they throw at him,” Lara Trump told host Sean Hannity of the four criminal charges Trump is facing. mentioned.
“It’s heavily rigged in Joe Biden’s favor, but everything always is,” she said, adding, “Despite that, and in defiance of even the justice system at this point, he’s trailing in every poll. “He’s better than Joe Biden,” he added. It’s amazing when you look at it. ”
She continued, “So if Joe Biden doesn’t show up on June 27th and come up with some excuse like he has to wash his hair or something, I totally think Donald Trump will outdo him.” I’m confident in that,” he said.
A recent New York Times/Siena College/Philadelphia Inquirer poll shows the former president leading Biden in five of six battleground states among registered voters. The poll has set off alarms among some Democrats, while others point to the president’s inconsistent performance in the polls.
Jeff Garlin, one of the Biden campaign’s Democratic pollsters, told The Hill that the poll’s results “need to be weighed against more than 30 polls showing Biden’s rise and lead. “We draw broad conclusions about the campaign based on the results of each camp.” One poll is wrong. ”
“The reality is that many voters are not paying close attention to the election and have not begun to make up their minds. That dynamic is reflected in today’s polls,” Garin continued. . “These voters will decide this election, and the Biden campaign is the only one working to win their support.”
Hill called on the Biden campaign to respond.
In a hypothetical race between Trump and Biden, the two would be nearly evenly matched, with Biden leading by 0.3 points, 44.7% to 44.4%, according to Hill/Decision Desk’s average national poll.
