    A new poll suggests Kamala Harris, if leading the Democratic presidential ticket, could beat Donald Trump in the popular vote.

    Emphases mine.

    Just a reminder that Hillary won the popular vote by about 2.9 million yet we got Trump anyway because of the electoral college.

    I hate that the stakes are so high and we’re at the mercy of swing state voters who are still undecided at this point. As for myself, I’ll be sticking with the candidate that has already beaten Trump once.

    (Laughs nervously)

      Biden’s down like 9 points national tho?

      And down in the battlegrounds…

      And solid blue states like his home state Pennsylvania…

      And where he was a senator for 36 years …

      So yeah…

      This doesn’t mean she’s a shoe in. But it’s better than Joe can do

          Excuse me for getting excited someone the DNC would actually let run is polling above trump…

          I don’t know if you noticed, but there hasn’t been much to celebrate lately for Dem voters.
