Biden gets poll completely wrong, thinks 92% of Dems would vote for him in 2024

President Joe Biden had a little delusional moment in Tuesday when he chastised a reporter telling them “to read the polls” which Biden alleged proves the American people want him to run for re-election. In fact, the polls show the exact opposite, but that did not stop him from engaging in an altercation; facts rarely get in Biden’s way.

“Mr. President, what’s your message to Democrats who don’t want you to run again?” the reporter asked at the congressional picnic at the White House.

Biden stopped in his tracks and told the reporter “they want me to run” and for him to “read the polls.”

When the reporter pointed out the polls show roughly two-thirds of Democrats say they do not want Biden to run again, the president snapped back: “Read the polls, Jack, you guys are all the same.”

Biden walked towards the reporter and camera and stated “that poll showed that 92% of Democrats, if I ran, would vote for me” referring to a New York Times survey.

Fox News reports:

Both the reporter and Biden reiterated their claims to each other, with the reporter again asserting that a majority of Democrats do not want Biden to campaign in 2024, and Biden refuting the statistic, insisting it was quite the opposite. 

The interaction comes as the media has highlighted numerous polls that show Biden is in hot water with American voters, including voters of his own party. The numbers Biden and the reporter spoke of came from a New York Times/Sienna College poll conducted between July 5 and 7.

The reporter was correct in their analysis of the poll which revealed a whopping 64% of Democratic voters agree that someone else should take the mantle in 2024.

Fox News writes that when it comes to Biden’s statistic of 92%, “that number does appear in the poll, but is not attributable to a question about whether he should or should not run in 2024.”

“Instead, the statistic is in reference to the fact that 92% of Democrats would still vote for Biden in a hypothetical rematch against former President Donald Trump.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced Tuesday that attorney and tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan will be his vice presidential running mate in the upcoming election. The Independent candidate announced his choice for the 38-year-old Oakland, California native by praising her insight into “how Big Tech uses AI to manipulate the public,” her athletic ability, and willingness to be a “partner” in a number of policy areas, including on securing the border.

Fox News writes that Shanahan is a philanthropist with a long history of donating to Democrat and left-leaning causes, including supporting President Biden in his 2020 election bid before switching to Kennedy when he launched his own run for the Democrat nomination last year.

She is the founder and president of Bia-Echo Foundation, a private firm that describes its mission as focused on “new frontiers in reproductive longevity & equality, criminal justice reform and a healthy & livable planet.”

Fox News reports Shanahan initially dropped her support for Kennedy after he decided to run as an independent, but later got behind him again by giving $4 million to the super PAC that boosted his candidacy with a John F. Kennedy-themed campaign ad that ran during the Super Bowl in February.

Shanahan also previously donated to Democrat presidential candidates Marianne Williamson and Pete Buttigieg during the 2020 presidential race, and threw more than $150,000 behind progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon’s 2020 election bid.

Shanahan, a life-long Democrat, told the crowd that she was leaving the party.

“The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of compassion. It is supposed to be the party of free speech, and most importantly, the party of the middle class and the American dream,” Shanahan said.

“While I know many Democrats still abide by those values…I do believe they’ve lost their way in their leadership,” she continued.

And she urged “disillusioned” Democrats and Republicans to support Kennedy’s independent White House bid.
