Trump has had a bad week. It just got worse. As MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace noted last night; "Donald Trump got himself impeached so that tonight wouldn't happen. Donald Trump got impeached so that he wouldn't have to run against Joe Biden."
He's running against Joe Biden.
...................... Sargent:
Which residents of your city and Macomb County are likely to switch from Trump to Biden?
Taylor:
The most likely are the suburban, middle-class families like mine with children. Those are the sorts of people who maybe grew up in a Republican household. They might have always been Republican. But now that they’ve seen Trump, they’re going to switch to Biden.
Somebody like a financial planner, an engineer — families with household incomes of around $100,000 are going to be looking at this election differently.
It’s that big middle of professionals — people in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Enough of them could switch.
Taylor:
Sanity and adult leadership in the White House. We have a president who, in the middle of what could be a global pandemic, is really more concerned about his reelection than coming up with a plan.
thebulwark People want to get back to some sense of normalcy. They’ll look to Biden and say, “Things are going to go back to the way they were before.” Whereas with Bernie you don’t know where they’ll end up.
