Mary Trump, former President Donald Trump’s niece, expressed her joy at seeing President Joe Biden gaining ground over her uncle in recent polls in a Substack post she shared. With the upcoming 2024 presidential race between Biden and Trump, polls have shown a tight election, but Biden has recently gained momentum in critical swing states. In her post titled “7 Reasons Democrats Can Celebrate,” Mary Trump emphasized the importance of not becoming complacent and reminded readers that polls are just a snapshot in time.
While celebrating Biden’s progress in the polls, Mary Trump also warned against being overconfident, as the polls are still very close. She expressed her disbelief that someone like her uncle, whom she described as incompetent, criminal, cruel, and autocratic, could be a viable candidate for president. However, she highlighted the positive momentum that Biden currently has and the impact this may have on the outcome of the election.
Mary Trump pointed to several national polls showing Biden with a narrow lead over Trump. An Emerson College poll showed Biden with a slight lead when undecided voters were asked who they were leaning towards. A Florida Atlantic University poll also showed Biden leading Trump in support. Additionally, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll indicated that Biden had narrowed the gap, particularly in key battleground states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Despite Biden’s recent gains in the polls, there are still surveys showing Trump maintaining a narrow lead over Biden. A Fox News poll, for example, showed Trump with a 5-point lead over Biden. Trump won 50 percent of support from respondents, while 45 percent said they would vote for Biden. These varying poll results suggest that the election is far from decided, and both candidates will need to continue campaigning to secure a victory.
As the 2024 election approaches, Mary Trump urged Democrats not to underestimate the competition and to remain focused and engaged in the campaign. She stressed the importance of mobilizing supporters and ensuring that every vote counts. While expressing her own disbelief at her uncle’s candidacy, she also acknowledged the uncertainty of the election outcome and the need for ongoing efforts to promote voter turnout and engagement. Ultimately, the polls may suggest a shift in momentum, but the final outcome will depend on the actions taken by both candidates and their respective campaigns in the coming months.
