The power of the presidency gives an incumbent candidate the ability to do things that the challenger simply cannot do, and President Joe Biden is using it to his advantage.

Two of the president’s laws are sending billions of dollars to swing states that will likely decide the presidential election in, what some may say, is an attempt to purchase votes, Axios reported.

“So far the swing-state haul includes $10 billion in grants and investments in both Michigan and North Carolina — and a combined $46 billion in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia,” the report said.

“As of early March, the White House had announced some $478 billion worth of projects from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

“That’s only about half the funds available for direct investments, so expect more Air Force One (and Two) sorties to battleground states to tout more billion-dollar grants and loans,” it said.

The fact that so many dollars are headed to Republican states has ruffled the feathers of some Democrats, including former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

“I hate to acknowledge this, as a former governor of Michigan, but we know that all these battery investments are going to red states,” she said to Axios.

The swing state of Michigan has received $10.8 billion for infrastructure and green energy projects.

Another state Democrats believe they can take from former President Donald Trump, North Carolina has been given $9.8 billion and Georgia has grabbed  $10.5 billion, White House data showed.

Four other swing states have also been enriched by the Biden administration as Pennsylvania has been given $16.2 billion, Wisconsin has scored $6.8 billion Nevada has been given $3.7 billion and Arizona has been handed $8.6 billion.

President Joe Biden’s campaign continues to receive bad electoral news from the most important swing states the deeper the nation enters the election cycle.

A CNN segment on Tuesday pointed out that Biden is behind former President Donald Trump in six of seven swing states—Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia—while Biden leads by three points in Wisconsin.

What’s more, Trump is leading Biden on issues that are also the biggest concerns for voters this cycle.

“Look at the why: what is going on?  Alright, trusted more, again, this is across all of these key seven swing states,” CNN political analyst Harry Enten said.

“Look, Donald Trump is trusted more than Joe Biden in basically all the important issues — the economy, inflation, 20-point lead, immigration, border, 20-point lead, the Israel-Hamas war, 14-point lead, the Russia-Ukraine war, nine-point lead, protecting democracy, well within the margin of error, which I think is something the that should worry that Biden camp, given that has been harping and Democrats been harping on this,” Enten continued. “Just a one-point advantage.

“On abortion, Democrats and Joe Biden have a 12-point advantage. They would love this campaign to be about abortion, but at this particular point, it‘s about this. And it‘s about this with perhaps a little bit of this,” Enten said, pointing out the main concerns of voters, “and all these issues favor Donald Trump.”

The host pointed out that Democrats and Biden have been “running on protecting democracy, and that’s a wash right now.”

“It is a Wash. And this is not the only poll that shows…  was looking at a Quinnipiac University poll last month, last week, excuse me, that showed the same thing,” Enten said. “And it‘s something that RFK Jr. said to our colleague, Erin Burnett, saying, I‘m not quite sure — Joe Biden may be worse for protecting democracy. It turns out a lot of voters agree on that.

“One little last thing I‘ll point out — is the U.S. on the right track or wrong track of presidential elections? Right track, 25 percent average when the president’s party loses since 1980 — 25% (now for Biden). It looks very much that type of campaign that we‘ve seen before right now,” Enten concluded.
