Trump Breaks Even With Biden In Dem-Run State As 2024 Campaign Cycle Hits Full Stride

Former President Donald Trump said this week that he only needs “one more indictment” by the Biden administration in order to secure a 2024 victory.

But that may not be true. He may already have enough of them.

According to a new Emerson College survey, Trump ties with President Joe Biden in the blue-run state of Michigan, but he actually takes the lead when Green Party candidate Cornell West is added to the mix, Breitbart News reports.

According to the survey released on Friday, Trump and Biden are tied at 44 percent each in a head-to-head race. Five percent of respondents remain undecided, while an additional eight percent support someone else in that hypothetical scenario.

“When West is included, Biden’s support drops to 41 percent, while West garners four percent, and Trump leads with a plurality of 43 percent. Another four percent back someone else, while eight percent are undecided. The poll also shows Trump dominating the GOP primary field,” the news outlet noted further.

West, known for his radical progressive views, is causing concern among liberals due to his candidacy, as highlighted in the poll. There are worries that he could potentially impact Biden’s chances and provide an advantage to Trump or another Republican candidate in the general election.

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Jim McGovern (D-MA) shared their growing concerns over the prospect with The Hill.

“I think he has a very long record of service and academic thought leadership … I think just right now, given the Electoral College, it’s very difficult to square the very real threat of a Republican presidency … [with] the risk of giving up the very small margin of electoral votes needed to ensure that President Biden wins,” the New York Democratic socialist said.

“The stakes are too high this year, especially if Trump is the nominee,” McGovern told the outlet. “I think everybody, including the most progressive elements of our country, need to protect our democracy by stopping Donald Trump and supporting Joe Biden.”

Meanwhile, and predictably, West is facing new attacks — from the left.

On Thursday, The Daily Beast published an article reporting he owes over $500,000 in back taxes and labeled him a “deadbeat.”

West responded by claiming that he and his sibling had “asked [his] accountant to respond to these charges, some of which are not true.”
