Biden’s coalition is crumbling…
While speaking with host Kate Bolduan this week, CNN’s John King sounded the alarm over “all the cracks” in President Biden’s voter base. Joe is currently losing ground with Black and Hispanic Americans as well as blue-collar voters.
According to a May New York Times/Siena College poll, Biden is losing significant ground to Donald Trump in key voter demographics across six swing states.
“All the cracks in the Biden coalition, you can find them in Michigan,” King told Bolduan. “All of them. So you could look at it from the half-empty perspective and say, ‘Wow, tough state.’ Or you can look at it from the half-full perspective ‘Despite all those problems, it’s that close.’ It’s that close. So which way do you want to look at it?”
“The Democrat coalition is more complicated because it has more pieces, right? You have the black turnout, you have the Latino turnout,” King said. “You got to keep your share of the blue-collar voters. The younger voters have been key to the Democrats in the last few election cycles. And they’re really mad at the president right now, especially over Israel-Hamas.”
“Trump’s biggest problem is Haley voters, people who are Republicans by DNA, who probably voted for him in 2016,” King continued. “A lot of them went to Biden in 2020. They don’t like either one of them … That’s a singular problem to solve. It’s a big problem. Your home state of Indiana, Nikki Haley gets what, 20%, 22%, six, seven weeks after she dropped out of the race. That’s a problem for Trump, but it’s one thing and they’re DNA Republicans. Biden has a lot more complicated little pieces. It’s tougher.”

King also spoke with CNN‘s Jake Tapper about the challenges Biden faces in Michigan. According to The Daily Caller, “Trump is beating Biden by 0.3% in a head-to-head matchup in the state, according to the RealClearPolling average, with the two tied when third-party candidates are included in surveys.”
