And they should be.
According to a Politico report, top Democrats are seriously concerned that President Biden is going to get blown out by Donald Trump come November.
Fear has settled in, according to the news outlet.
From Politico:
All year, Democrats had been on a joyless and exhausting grind through the 2024 election. But now, nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives. And the gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print, and what they’ll text their friends, has only grown as worries have surged about Biden’s prospects.
“You don’t want to be that guy who is on the record saying we’re doomed, or the campaign’s bad or Biden’s making mistakes. Nobody wants to be that guy,” said a Democratic operative in close touch with the White House and granted anonymity to speak freely.
But Biden’s stubbornly poor polling and the stakes of the election “are creating the freakout,” he said.
“This isn’t, ‘Oh my God, Mitt Romney might become president.’ It’s ‘Oh my God, the democracy might end.’”
Trump is currently polling ahead of Biden in nearly all battleground states and, thanks to new RNC co-chair Lara Trump, the Don is also out-fundraising the Democrat machine.
