President-elect Trump was on track to win 400 electoral votes in a head-to-head race against President Biden, according to the White House’s own internal polls.

The news was revealed by Jon Favreau, a one-time speechwriter for former President Obama who now hosts the liberal Pod Save America podcast.

“Then we find out when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign’s own internal polling at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes,” Favreau said.

That's close to a bush 41 type landslide. 426.

NOW they tell us...

Which of course meant just one thing: “he has to go.”

As Bob Torricelli found out.

So THAT’S why they pulled biden and ran harris.

The way the Fox News story told it was this is an example of bald faced lying by the Dems who knew Biden was falling apart then and couldn’t defeat Trump but they told the American people the opposite. It wasn’t a shock during the debate. It was a coverup.

Liars.

lol.

It would have been 400 with Kammie the Commie if the Dem Cheat Machine wasn’t in place.

Yeah where would the other 88 have come from?

NJ Trump only lost by 5...and a bunch of others in that area.

Interesting.

The party pooh-bahs messed up and now it’s CYA. Kamala was god awful and actually somehow even worse than Biden.

NJ, VA, NM, MN, NH: Total 46.

[KarlInOhio]

I took the list of states, DC + 2 electoral districts that Harris won and then increased Trump's vote and decreased Harris's until the total crossed 400 EV (418 on the last step).

If 5.8% of the total shifted from Harris to Trump, then the following states would have flipped:

Colorado
Illinois
Maine at large
Minnesota
NE-2nd district
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Virginia

Leaving only the following for Harris:
California
Connecticut
Delaware
District of Columbia
Hawaii
ME-1st district
Maryland
Massachusetts
Oregon
Rhode Island
Vermont
Washington

[popdonnelly]

He’s lying.

[popdonnelly]

Now, how can someone who got 81 million votes get beat in a landslide?

Pod Save America

What a twerp.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Ask Miss piggy 🐷 I mean Cheney !

She showed the way.

[Salman]

So the Harris loss was actually a face saver.

Less of a loss, plus they get to call us racist and sexist. Well they would anyway, but still.

Key words; Biden, Ex-Obozo.
