Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is distancing him from efforts by allies and former aides to sketch out his plans for a possible second term.
But even as Trump’s campaign has been blaming outside groups and allies for bad headlines, Trump himself has been vowing “retribution” against his enemies and ramping up his use of violent and authoritarian rhetoric, including saying he would only be a dictator on “day one” of his second term. He has also pledged to appoint a special prosecutor to go after President Joe Biden and has outlined an immigration agenda that includes militarizing the southern border and mass deportations.
Polls a year out are meaningless. IIRC, Obama was "losing" at this point during his re-election as well. Democrats have been beating polls by 9+ points at the ballot box since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Interesting that those polls never include spoiler candidate RFK, Jr. who is polling in the (very low) double digits and mostly attracting Republicans.
I don't want that crazy fucker to win, but it's interesting to me that pollsters always leave him out when it sounds like he could seriously swing the election in Biden's favor, isn't it?
