Biden Leads in 6 New Polls, The Booming American Economy, The Republican Party Is Broke and BrokenBig Day Today - With Dems at 1pm ET, Ruben Gallego at 8pm - Join Us!Happy Thursday all. Got a few things for you today: 2 Events Today - Register, Join Us! 1pm ET - With Democrats, Things Get Better - Join me this afternoon for my signature presentation, “With Democrats, Things Get Better.” It’s a 30 minute deep dive into American politics since the Cold War ended and a new age of globalization began. And what it finds is that when Democrats are in the White House, things get better for America. When Republicans are in charge, we get recession, higher deficits, failed foreign policy and American decline. Register for the live presentation, and if you can’t make it live a recording will be shared here in the coming days. 8pm ET - Ruben Gallego Joins Us Live - Excited that my good friend Ruben will be joining us for a live update on his campaign tonight. Register for the event here; donate if you can; and if you can’t make it live a recording will be here for everyone on Friday morning. We already have over 600 RSVPs for tonight - look forward to seeing everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stock Markets Soar On Fed Announcement It Still Expects Three Rate Cuts This Year - From Politico this morning:
“I’m With Joe” - The Powerful New Steelworkers Ad - This is a very, very good ad for Joe Biden. The campaign has truly begun my friends and it is great to see: As we discussed yesterday Joe Biden is in the midst of his best run of polling in some time. 6 post-State Of The Union polls show him with leads: (all via 538):
And 3 more had him with leads prior to the State Of The Union:
The Economist poll average continues to have Biden 1 point ahead of Trump: It’s pretty clear the race has a moved a few points towards Biden in recent weeks, and that we are now in a close, competitive election where neither candidate has a firm lead. Almost every poll taken in March has the election within margin of error - it’s close and competitive. It is wrong now to say that Trump leads, and the media needs to not replicate their 2022 red wave mistake of dismissing or ignoring data that doesn’t fit the Republicans are strong/Dems are weak narrative - particularly when we’ve been winning election after election of all kinds since Dobbs, and it’s been the Republican Party which has repeatedly struggled. As I wrote yesterday, when you expand your consideration of the strength of the two candidates and two parties to include other ways of evaluating political strength, I think Trump is in trouble. His party is broke, and broken. It’s an unprecedented dumpster fire, not a juggernaut. From the Washington Post this morning, Trump lags behind Biden in cash reserves while legal bills mount:
There has been much discussion about whether this election will be a referendum on Biden or Trump. As I wrote last week, I think one of the biggest political developments in recent days has been the drying up of the GOP’s big attacks on Biden. Consider:
Republicans have no clear shot at him any more. There is no longer a strong case against Biden’s re-election. With that, I think what we are beginning to see is the election is increasingly becoming a referendum on Trump and not Biden. And that my friends is an election Republicans cannot possibly win. Trump’s Attacks on American Jews - My friend Halie Sofer of the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) went on CNN to respond to Trump’s ridiculous attacks on American Jews this week. Watch. She does a terrific job: Why I Am Optimistic About Winning This November - New resources for your viewing, listening and reading pleasure: Posts, Analyses, Op-Eds - The Country Is Better Off and The Democratic Party is Strong, Why I Am Optimistic About Winning This November, There’s Only One Party Good At This Capitalism Thing, Moving On From The Trump Trials, Biden’s Chances Are Much Stronger Than People Realize (MSNBC), 4 Things Biden Should Do Now (New Republic), The President Is Clearly Fighting For Us. Now We Need To Fight For Him The “Trump Is A Strong Candidate” Bubble Is Bursting, The GOP Is Splintering/MAGA Is A Failed Politics, The GOP Has Worse Than Nothin’ Video Presentations - My Latest Election Overview - “I’d Much Rather Be Us Than Them” (with Anderson Clayton too), Gov. Gavin Newsom Joins Us To Talk State Of The Union, 2024 Election, Hopium’s 1st Birthday! New Audio Podcasts - The New Republic’s Daily Blast With Greg Sargent, NewDEAL’s An Honorable Profession, Deep State Radio with David Rothkopf and Tara McGowan Here’s my appearance on Lawrence O’Donnell Tuesday night talking about the raging dumpster fire that is the GOP now: Let’s Do More, Worry Less - Here at Hopium we strive to channel all this worry and anxiety we have about our current moment into concrete action - do more, worry less - as we say here. Here are a few things you can do right now, today: Donate to and join the Biden-Harris campaign - This is very important. The general election has begun and it’s time to get on board the Biden-Harris train. Please donate whatever amount you can - $5, $10 - just to get started. So far we’ve raised $171,000 from 2,000 of you for Biden Harris - thank you all! Make an early investment in North Carolina - North Carolina is our most important 2024 battleground expansion state. Please donate today! For more on why I think North Carolina is so important watch my in-depth interview with Anderson Clayton, the dynamic new NC Dem Party chair; learn about the extremists running statewide in North Carolina this year and why they give us a great opportunity to grow, expand and flip NC blue; and hear Anderson give us an update on her work and the impact our investments are having there. So far we’ve raised $125,000 from over 1,500 of you for Anderson and the NC Dems - thank you all! Help Ruben Gallego Win Arizona - Last week I endorsed Ruben Gallego in his race to become the next Senator in Arizona. The polls are encouraging there, and this is a very critical 2024 battleground state - must win Biden-Harris state, must win Senate, two House pick up opportunities (and maybe the state house too). Because Senator Sinema stayed in for so long, Ruben is a bit behind where he should be financially and organizationally, and needs our help today. Please donate today, and I will be posting some volunteer opportunities in the coming days. We have already raised over $72,000 from over 1,100 of you - thank you all! And be sure to come see Ruben tonight at 8pm ET! Spread Hopium - Encourage people in your networks to become a Hopium subscriber.
