Donald Trump to win US elections if it was held today, says Democratic strategist

Despite some conflicting polling data, Donald Trump continues to appear strong on paper as a candidate for the 2024 US Presidential Election. Democratic strategist David Axelrod has weighed in on Trump’s prospects, asserting that if the election were held today, Trump would likely be a clear frontrunner in the polls.

Axelrod’s Advice for Democrats: Stay Patient

Axelrod’s comments serve as a cautionary note to Democrats who might be buoyed by recent surveys showing Kamala Harris slightly ahead of Trump nationwide. While Harris has indeed made notable strides in improving the Democrats’ image through her campaign, Axelrod emphasizes that significant challenges remain. The party is still grappling with the aftermath of Joe Biden’s unexpected withdrawal from the presidential race and the recent lackluster performance in the presidential debate, which was dominated by Trump.

Harris’s Progress and Challenges

Kamala Harris has shown considerable progress since taking on a more prominent role in the 2024 election race. Her efforts have been impressive, yet they have not yet translated into a decisive edge over Trump. The former president, now more seasoned and agile, poses a tougher challenge than he did in his previous campaign against Joe Biden.

Hillary Clinton’s Stance

Contrary to some speculations, Hillary Clinton is not supporting Donald Trump. Instead, she remains a dedicated supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 race.

Trump’s Absence from the DNC 2024

As the Democratic National Convention (DNC) 2024 is a Democratic event, Donald Trump, as a Republican candidate, will not be participating in the convention.
