The progressive media's rebellion against Biden has the president on the ropes

The devastating poll published by The New York Times Sunday shows the enormous divide between Joe Biden and the progressive media. The poll projects that Donald Trump would return to the White House in 2024, winning five key states, as well as gaining support from black and Hispanic voters, two traditionally Democratic pillars that are drifting right, especially due to economic and immigration policy. The NYT's projections match those of The Washington Post, which also see the president's re-election aspirations in a tailspin, with Trump earning more than 50% support. More and more voices in the media and the Democratic Party are asking for the president to take a step back, only adding to the problems he is facing due to the investigation of his family's shady businesses.

Fear of a Trump reinforced after the accusations

With the Biden's popularity in a months-long dip, Democrats are beginning to doubt the viability of his nomination in next year's presidential elections, which will likely be a rematch of those from 2020 if the courts do not prevent it, according to the polls. For now, however, every time Trump has gone to court regarding a new case, his popularity and support have only grown. For now, Trump is miles ahead of the rest of the field in the Republican primary, and the latest polls predict that he would prevail over the current occupant of the White House in the general election.

These results have caused a stir in the mainstream media, where voices are beginning to cry out to try and warn Democratic voters against the danger of maintaining confidence in the current president in 2024. After the blow from The Washington Post and several critical articles in The New York Times, the aforementioned polls represent a clear escalation of the progressive media's rebellion against the president.

Black and Hispanic voters turn away from Biden

Trump was projected to win five (Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania) of six key battleground states (Wisconsin is the only one supporting the Democratic candidate). If this was not enough of a setback, the announcement that Trump's support among black and Hispanic voters is increasing pushes President Biden even further back on the ropes. Voters in both groups have been slowly but steadily turning away from the Biden administration's radical policies and are beginning drift toward the Republicans, especially on issues like the economy and border management.

Rising suspicions about the Biden family's businesses

The investigations into the Biden family's shady business dealings also cast shadows on the president's personal and electoral future. The latest information from Republicans in Congress, led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, call into question Joe Biden's actions during his time as Obama's vice president in business dealings with China and Ukraine, among other countries.

Democrats look for alternatives... that have not stepped up

The problem is that the some big names in the Democratic Party, especially California Governor Gavin Newsom, are not stepping up for their voters. Only self-help guru Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips have thrown their hat into the ring, and neither of them appears to be a viable contender against Biden, unless he decides to withdraw. The final name in contention, Robert Kennedy Jr., decided to abandon his candidacy within the party to try to reach the White House as an independent.

Progressive analysts are divided between the need to bet on another candidate at this point in the race or trust that Biden can turn the situation around. However, even those who see it as risky to "change horses" now, such as David Axelrod, CNN commentator and former advisor to President Obama, warn of the risk posed by Trump and are asking Biden to reconsider whether moving forward with his candidacy is truly in the country's best interests when there is a pool of Democratic politicians who could do well.
