Democrats privately concerned Biden campaign is 'doomed,' worry Trump may even win blue states: report
Democratic Party strategists are predicting defeat in the heated race against former President Trump, according to a new report.
"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," a Democratic operative speaking anonymously told Politico. "Nobody wants to be that guy."
"This isn’t, ‘Oh my God, Mitt Romney might become president.’ It’s ‘Oh my God, the democracy might end,'" they said, adding that Biden's low polling numbers have contributed to a "freakout" among Biden supporters.
A recent Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll found Trump leading Biden in seven key swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Biden won every one of those states but North Carolina in 2020 and they were decisive to his victory.
"The list of why we ‘could’ win is so small I don’t even need to keep the list on my phone," the adviser said.
But not all Biden supporters are speaking anonymously about their concerns over the 2024 presidential campaign. Outspoken strategist James Carville has been critical of the party's messaging and approach in this election year.
Another Democratic strategist spoke openly about the greatest obstacle that the Biden campaign has to overcome in order to achieve victory in November.
Even in blue strongholds like New York City, Trump's aggressive campaigning in the South Bronx has Democrats worried.
"New York Democrats need to wake up," Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine told the outlet. "The number of people in New York, including people of color that I come across who are saying positive things about Trump, is alarming."
The Biden and Trump campaigns did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
