New decision desk numbers have Biden and Trump tied in
a three-way race with RFK Junior.
This seems to be a good sign for Democrats.
Brett, has there been any reaction from the White House?
I know that Democrats have been preparing for RFK Junior
and the DNC even has,
you know, resources allocated to combat third party candidates right
now.
Yeah, exactly. And to that point,
you know, this is definitely welcome news for the White
House and welcome news for the Biden campaign who,
you know, for months. Really,
Biden campaign officials had told me that they felt like
Biden's poll numbers would bounce back once voters started to
pay more attention,
once they started to realize that the choice was essentially
going to be President Biden or former President Trump again
in November.
And this is evidence, I think,
to your point. You know,
Democrats and the Biden campaign and allies of the White
House have really been trying to push this message that
RFK Junior could essentially,
you know, win the election for Trump,
that he could tip the scales in Trump's favor by
just taking away just a sliver of votes from Biden.
So this is, you know,
potentially the result of a really concerted effort by Democrats
affiliated with the Biden campaign to get that message out,
to point out that, you know,
a lot of RFK junior's donors are actually Republicans who
are Trump supporters to point out some of his policies
that people might not be familiar with.
So like you said, this is definitely good news for
the White House,
good news for the Biden campaign.
And obviously there's still, you know,
close to six months until Election Day.
And I would expect we'll continue to hear sort of
this drum beat of,
you know, of warnings from the White House and from
the campaign about the risks of voting for FK junior.
