President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump met for a first-of-its-kind debate in Atlanta, Georgia, courtesy of CNN last night, June 27. The left-leaning Fourth Estate had – despite valiant efforts at lowering expectations – put all their credibility eggs in one Biden basket. Based on CNN’s own snap polling, the hopes that Joe Biden would make it unscathed through the carefully choreographed debate format were dashed.
CNN’s flash poll handed Trump the win in a 67% to 33% wipeout. MSNBC’s poll gave the former president 69%. Betting markets lit up as cash bettors put their money against the incumbent, dropping his odds of re-election to three to one. But the real disaster was reported by Politico, citing Democrat strategists and big donors who are now actively demanding a replacement for the 2024 Democratic Party ticket.
