Democratic Defector: Dissatisfied Lifelong Party Member Refuses to Support Biden

A lifelong Democrat has left the party and become an independent voter due to dissatisfaction with President Biden's "lack of understanding" of American voters. She expressed concerns about rising costs, border security, and personal safety in New York City. President Biden's approval rating has reached an all-time low, with only one-third of Americans approving of his job performance. The president received particularly low marks for his handling of immigration and inflation. Former President Trump has gained an advantage over Biden in 2024 rematch surveys.
