Biden campaign takes victory lap on Democratic wins after poor polling
President Biden’s 2024 Reelection Campaign Celebrates Democratic Wins, Rejects “MAGA Extremism”
The 2024 reelection campaign of President Joe Biden expressed excitement and support for the successful election night of Democratic candidates. They claimed that voters had chosen Biden’s agenda over “MAGA extremism.” This unexpected Democratic sweep followed recent polls that showed Biden trailing former President Donald Trump in crucial states for the upcoming election.
Democratic Victories Across the Country
On Election Day, Kentucky voters reelected Democratic Governor Andy Beshear. In Virginia, Democratic candidates secured the House of Delegates and maintained their majority in the state Senate. Meanwhile, New Jersey Democrats expanded their majority and held onto their Democratic trifecta. However, in one of the few Republican victories, Governor Tate Reeves was reelected in Mississippi.
“Tonight, Democrats across the country won because they ran on standing up for personal freedoms, defending democracy, and fighting for working families. Voters across the political spectrum once again showed up and voted for our agenda and rejected the dangerous MAGA extremism that has come to define today’s Republican Party at every level,” said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden campaign manager.
“In hundreds of races since Donald Trump’s conservative Supreme Court appointments overturned Roe v. Wade, we’ve seen Americans overwhelmingly side with President Biden and Democrats’ vision for this country. That same choice will be before voters again next November, and we are confident the American people will send President Biden and Vice President Harris back to the White House to keep working for them,” she added.
Initially, concerns grew among Democrats after newly released polling from the New York Times and Siena College showed Trump leading Biden in five of the six crucial battleground states for 2024. However, as the votes started pouring in and Democratic candidates secured significant wins, the president’s allies quickly hailed the election as a testament to the Biden model.
“Once again, @JoeBiden leads his party to victory where it counts — not in punditry or polling, cable round tables or daily newsletters — but at the polls in elections,” tweeted former White House chief of staff Ronald Klain.
Following Kentucky Republican gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron’s loss, Klain asked, “How did the Biden bashing work for you?”
MSNBC host Chris Hayes reflected on the rollercoaster experience of Democrats during the Biden era, stating, “The political experience of the Biden era for Democrats is: extended periods of intense anxiety about terrible polling, occasionally punctuated by strangely positive election nights. And then the cycle repeats.”
Democratic strategist Josh Schwerin highlighted President Biden’s response to the election results, noting that he congratulated Governor Beshear on his reelection without mentioning the unfavorable polling from the New York Times and Siena College.
Another Biden ally, strategist Chris Jackson, criticized the media’s coverage of Biden’s poor polling. He wrote, “Surprise! The media got it wrong again. After weeks of blabbing about how Democrats were in big trouble, we won big tonight in Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, and in communities all across the nation. And guess what? Next year, Joe Biden will defeat Donald Trump once again. We just need to ignore the media, ignore the polls, work like hell, and keep the faith.”
The Democrats’ strong performance and the Republicans’ underperformance compared to expectations for the election were reminiscent of the predicted “red wave” in the 2022 midterm elections, which ultimately did not materialize, leaving Republicans with a narrow majority in the House of Representatives.

How do the recent election victories demonstrate confidence in Biden’s ability to win a second term?
Ckly expressed their confidence in Biden’s ability to win a second term.
“The early poll numbers were certainly concerning, but tonight’s results demonstrate the power of Biden’s message and his ability to unite voters behind his agenda. The American people have seen the positive impact of his policies, from the successful vaccination rollout to the economic recovery. They understand that Biden is a leader who will fight for their rights and prioritize their needs,” said Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“This election was a clear rejection of the dangerous and divisive policies of the previous administration. The American people want a president who will bring about unity and progress, not one who fuels the flames of extremism and division. Biden has proven time and time again that he is the leader we need for a brighter future,” added Senator Cory Booker.
The president’s reelection campaign celebrated the victories as a validation of his administration’s policies and a rejection of the Republican Party’s affiliation with “MAGA extremism.” They pointed to the support from voters across the political spectrum as evidence of Biden’s broad appeal and ability to bring people together.
However, it is important to note that not all recent polls have been favorable for President Biden. A separate poll conducted by CNN and SSRS showed that Biden’s approval rating had dipped below 50% for the first time since taking office. This underscores the challenging political climate that Biden will face as he seeks reelection in 2024.
The road to reelection will not be easy for President Biden. He will have to navigate various challenges, including a divided Congress and a highly polarized electorate. The outcome of the 2022 midterm elections will also play a significant role in shaping the political landscape leading up to 2024.
Nevertheless, President Biden and his supporters remain optimistic. They believe that his record of accomplishments, from the passage of the American Rescue Plan to the successful implementation of COVID-19 vaccinations, will resonate with voters and ensure his reelection.
As President Biden’s reelection campaign kicks into high gear, they are poised to continue highlighting the successes of his administration and contrasting them with the perceived failings of the previous administration. Their message is clear: the American people deserve a leader who will prioritize their needs and work towards a more inclusive and progressive future.
Only time will tell if President Biden will be successful in his bid for reelection. As the political landscape evolves and new challenges emerge, the campaign’s ability to adapt and appeal to a broad range of voters will be crucial. Until then, supporters of President Biden can celebrate the recent Democratic victories as a promising start to his reelection campaign.
