Biden’s internal polling had Trump winning 400 electoral votes, ex-Obama official claims: ‘Catastrophic mistake’
NY Post ^

Posted on 11/09/2024 4:27:19 PM PST by TigerClaws

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.

“Joe Biden’s decision to run for president again was a catastrophic mistake,” Favreau added. “They refused to acknowledge until very late, that anyone could be upset about inflation. And they just kept telling us that his presidency was historic and it was the greatest economy ever.”

Favreau accused Team Biden of “shivving” Vice President Harris and telling reporters quietly that she could not win.

“I’m done being generous,” Favreau said, echoing a long line of Obama alum who have always disdained Biden and his inner circle.

Former Obama campaign guru David Axelrod has routinely been one of Biden’s harshest critics on cable news and raised issues about his age long before the disastrous July debate.

Once hailed by his party after forcing him out of the race, many Democrats have now turned on the former President, blaming him for Harris’ decisive blowout at the polls on election day.

Wow. Plenty of shivving to go around, if you ask me. I find the narrative goi g around plausible that Biden immediately endorsed Kamala over the injection of party leaders, so as to saddle the party with a loser candidate, rather than allow a more open selection process. Revenge for the knife that Nancy and the gangs had just slipped between his shoulder blades

Zero doubt Biden losses, but 400 EV's is total bull$hit.

"Favreau accused Team Biden of “shivving” Vice President Harris and telling reporters quietly that she could not win"

The only thing this POS did not lie about.

Biden is more like Mussolini than Trump. All his weird whispering. His vicious partisanship. His greedy enriching of himself and his family. His Satan speech. Biden is a nasty piece of work. He’s a boil on America’s backside. I’m glad he burned it all down on his way out.

Biden would have done better than Kamala by far and he might have even won the popular vote

Sorry. I searched “400” before posting and got nothing. Delete this thread.

Biden’s role was twofold merely: 1) keep Sanders from the 2020 nomination; and 2) keep Obama in power.

I am surprised they left him in the White House. Seemed to me they’d get rid of him after the midterms, but I’m glad they didn’t listen to my advice.

I wonder if they knew Harris was that stupid when they made her VP. It had to be a black woman (even though Harris isn’t black, and the only alternative was the GA governor loser, and she wasn’t photogenic and had other issues as well.

Lipstick on a pig... moot point, no one cares, 301 did the trick and one the rankest shyster politicians will ramble off to a beach and forget who he is.

“I’m done being generous,” Favreau said

Mr. "Me, Myself, and I" is exactly why Barky chose that speechwriter. Mentally ill speechwriters usually do not find work.

I agree. The Dems could run a David Duke/Al Sharpton ticket and get 200 EVs

That was a feature, not a bug -- originally. Woops.

I’m sure a few more blue states flip, but I find the number hard to believe.

Agree. I actually think Biden may have done better than Kamala and may have even won the popular vote against Trump.

This seems like a poll whatever Dem insiders used to push Joe aside.

I think possible Biden and Jill basically stuck Pelosie and Obama with Harris to spoil their game plan after they booted him..... he had the power to appoint HIS VP....they could not pick for him...... so he threw Harris at them knowing Harris would flat-line, while Jill marches in to vote wearing a red suit laughing her fanny off on the way out.
