The Spin

Republican narrative

Donald Trump continues to lead Joe Biden in the vast majority of polls, both nationally and in key swing states, as voters across America wake up to Biden's terrible record on the economy, immigration, and national security. While the Democrat-allied media will attempt to generate some enthusiasm for Biden by claiming that he is catching up to Trump, the truth remains that the Democrats' only hope in November is to engage in more shenanigans. The people are tired, and there's no way Joe Biden will win if there's a fair election.

Democratic narrative

Joe Biden's re-election path may appear difficult, but several factors play in his favor, not least improvements in the economy and the Democratic party's performance in the recent elections. Most importantly, Trump is still facing a litany of legal issues that are yet to be resolved. Voters' “social desirability” bias is bound to play against Trump, especially if he is convicted in any of the many cases he is battling right now.
