"Democratic Concerns Mount as Trump Surges in Swing State Polls"

Frustrations within the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden's candidacy have come to the forefront as bleak polling numbers and concerns about his messaging and missed opportunities in swing states emerge. Some Democratic strategists, including David Axelrod, have suggested that Biden consider dropping out of the race and letting a more electable candidate take his place. However, Biden has shown no indication of stepping aside, and his campaign team dismisses the significance of early poll numbers. Concerns also arise from eroding support among Black voters and criticism over foreign aid instead of domestic spending. Despite frustrations, Democrats face structural barriers and limited time to present an alternative candidate.
