Not only does he continue to hold a massive lead in the Republican primary, but some recent polls show him tying or beating Joe Biden.
The RealClear Politics average as of Wednesday, Aug. 2, is Biden, by the slimmest of margins, at +0.9, and given how the polls seem to always be skewed toward Democrats, that's looking like a win to me there.
Now there's word that they're trying to bring in their big gun, Barack Obama, to try to help Joe Biden.
A new Washington Post report reveals that Obama met with Biden earlier this summer to talk about Trump's strengths including "An intensely loyal following, a Trump-friendly conservative media ecosystem and a polarized country - underlining his worry that Trump could be a more formidable candidate than many Democrats realize."
There's definitely some spin in that report with the claim that "Obama made it clear his concerns were not about Biden's political abilities, but rather a recognition of Trump's iron grip on the Republican Party, according to the people." Either Obama is spinning to Biden or that's the WaPo trying to cover for Biden's deficiencies.
Either way, Obama knows that they have a lot to fear in a race with Trump and there's a big problem with Biden.
Obama is expected to "Begin fundraising for Biden in the fall."
