With the 2024 presidential showdown on the horizon, President Biden’s buddy from the Senate, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and some smart Democratic folks are getting jittery about Donald Trump’s chances, according to Fox News on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.
Why the jitters? Well, it’s because recent polls are giving Trump a boost in those states that could make or break an election. Some are even saying we should be flat-out scared.
Sen. Blumenthal, who’s been a big fan of President Biden, told the Washington Post, I’m worried. I was worried even before seeing these numbers. It’s baffling how much trust Donald Trump still has, even with all the legal issues, fibs, and other bad stuff.
