According to a Politico report, top Democrat politicians and strategists are beginning to see the writing on the wall: Biden is tanking while Trump is surging in the polls.

Trump is currently ahead in nearly all battleground states and is out-raising the Democrats thanks to newly-installed RNC co-chair Lara Trump.

The “freakout” has begun.

From Politico:

All year, Democrats had been on a joyless and exhausting grind through the 2024 election. But now, nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives. And the gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print, and what they’ll text their friends, has only grown as worries have surged about Biden’s prospects.

“You don’t want to be that guy who is on the record saying we’re doomed, or the campaign’s bad or Biden’s making mistakes. Nobody wants to be that guy,” said a Democratic operative in close touch with the White House and granted anonymity to speak freely.

But Biden’s stubbornly poor polling and the stakes of the election “are creating the freakout,” he said.

The concern has metastasized in recent days as Trump jaunted to some of the country’s most liberal territories, including New Jersey and New York, to woo Hispanic and Black voters as he boasted, improbably, that he would win in those areas.

Trump’s national press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared the Politico piece on X with a simple smiley face.
