During an appearance on CBS Mornings, First Lady Jill Biden expressed confidence in her husband, President Joe Biden’s chances of winning the upcoming November election, despite recent polls indicating Donald Trump’s lead in multiple battleground states. The conversation initially centered around education, with Mrs. Biden surprising Missy Testerman, the recipient of the National Teacher of the Year award.
As the interview concluded, the topic shifted to the 2024 presidential election, where Mrs. Biden emphasized the clear choice voters face between chaos and stability, wisdom, and experience. When asked if she harbored any concerns about the polls showing Trump leading in several battleground states, Mrs. Biden swiftly dismissed them, asserting her confidence in her husband’s reelection prospects.
“But when these polls like The Wall Street Journal one land in the White House and he’s losing all the battleground states —” Tony Dokoupil said in response before Biden jumped back in.
“No, he’s not losing in the battleground states,” Biden said.
“All but one,” Dokoupil responded.
“He’s coming up and he’s even or doing better,” Biden said. “You know what? Once people start to focus in and they see their two choices, it’s obvious that Joe will win this election.”
When pressed about specific polls indicating a different outcome, Mrs. Biden reiterated her conviction, stating that as people focus on the election and compare their options, it becomes apparent that Joe Biden will emerge victorious.
Recent polling data from The Wall Street Journal showed Trump leading Biden in six of seven swing states, with a tie in Wisconsin. However, Morning Consult data released the same week depicted Biden leading Trump by two points overall, with both candidates tied among independents.
