The 81-year-old president said he’s bowing out after remaining defiant for weeks in the face of calls to withdraw from the 2024 race.

    No, it was a whole host of people who are pragmatic and understood that he will not win. Trump is way ahead in the polls.

      The polls mean nothing. There are better ways to know how Trump was going to lose AGAIN against Biden. But it doesn’t matter now anyway.

        Why do they mean nothing? What other ways?

          In my experience, the polls have been inaccurate in the last three elections. They always claim that one candidate is above another by a large margin, and then the actual numbers are quite different.

          Hell, the polls gave Clinton the victory in 2016 lol! And Biden’s “blue wave” never happened.

              They talk about Gallup, though. Were you referring to Gallup polls earlier too? (Genuine question…)

                Polls in general, I’d see mention of a few different ones, coverage of others, not specifically Gallup.

                  Ok, got it. I was reading a bit about Gallup and it seems like they’re the most accurate. Not sure about other agencies.
