Went John Stasha went Bloomberg Sports. 228 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 5: Karenamy Coast to Coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM, 229 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 5: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the 230 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 5: Bloomberg Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 231 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 2: Several influential congressional Democrats have been talking about getting Joe 232 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 2: Biden off the ticket. They said privately just yesterday that 233 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: they want the president to step aside as the party's 234 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: White House nominee as the President enters a pivotal week 235 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 2: for his teetering reelection campaign. At the same time, though, 236 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 2: there's a Bloomberg News Morning console pull out that shows 237 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 2: Biden is actually narrowing the gap with Donald Trump in 238 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: some swing states. We're joined now by Bloomberg's Gregory Cordy, 239 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: He's going to sort all of this out for us 240 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: and Gregory. More defections from the Democratic Party, at least 241 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: on the House side. 242 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 6: What are you hearing? Yeah, so the number the numbers 243 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 6: mounted over the weekend, And as you said, the names 244 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 6: that jumped out to me were Jerry Nadler of New 245 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 6: York and Adam Smith of Washington. These are Democrats who 246 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 6: chair committees and prominent committees in the House when the 247 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 6: Democrats are in power, and so yeah, those are sort 248 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 6: of a drip drip drip for Joe Biden of every day, 249 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 6: a few more Democrats. It's by no means the majority 250 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 6: of his party, but it's got to be concerning as 251 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 6: the president heads into his convention next month, trying to 252 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 6: unite the party around him. 253 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 2: Now we're hearing a lot from the Democrats in the House, perhaps, 254 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: but what are you hearing from Democrats in the Senate? 255 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? 256 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 6: The Senate is always a kind of a different animal 257 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 6: and always on every issue a little bit more circumspect. 258 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 6: So we have heard that Mark Warner of Virginia is 259 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 6: trying to gather a group of senators there to also 260 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 6: put pressure on Biden to step aside and let somebody 261 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 6: else run for the Democratic nomination. But remember, Joe Biden 262 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 6: served in the Senate for decades and has a lot 263 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 6: of deep friendships there and a lot of deep alliances there, 264 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 6: So we might expect fewer senators to make that call. 265 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: Now, this is happening at the same time as that 266 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: new Bloomberg Morning Consult poll shows that the President's narrowing 267 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: that gap in swing states. What does that poll indicate 268 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: for Biden's staying power even with the Democrats pushing back? 269 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, one way to read this poll is 270 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 6: that while this is the current obsession with the Beltway 271 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 6: class in Washington, among journalists, among members of his own party, 272 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 6: certainly Republicans are having a field day with this issue. 273 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 6: Outside the Beltway, voters are always focused on somewhat different issues. 274 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 6: And remember that also in the past month, Donald Trump 275 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 6: was convicted of thirty four felonies. Voters have not forgotten that. 276 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 6: And so what our Bloomberg News Morning Console poll of 277 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 6: the seven swing states found was that Joe Biden is 278 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 6: only two points behind across those seven states. He's spent 279 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 6: a little bit more in some Wisconsin and Michigan notably, 280 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 6: and he's down in others. At most concerning for him Pennsylvania. 281 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 6: But this is the best poll that he's had since 282 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 6: we've been doing this series of polls beginning last October, 283 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 6: and so it did give Biden and his allies a 284 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 6: little bit of a boost over the weekend and thinking 285 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 6: that maybe he can stick with this. Of course, we're 286 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 6: going to want to see more evidence of this. You 287 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 6: never want to look at just one poll in isolation. 288 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 6: Even our own poll, i'll say, is just one data point, 289 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 6: and we're going to want to see if this trend 290 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 6: continues in more polling going forward. 291 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: And briefly you mentioned the democ at a national convention 292 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: in August. How does this set the table for that. 293 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll see if we even get there. Because one 294 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 6: of the things that Democrats had talked about even before 295 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 6: the debate, even before we got into this discussion about 296 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 6: Joe Biden's age and his mental acuity, Democrats had planned 297 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 6: to perhaps nominate him virtually by some sort of online 298 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 6: roll call in late July, and that was originally to 299 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 6: get on the bout in Ohio, which had an early 300 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 6: babot deadline. Now if they follow through with that plan, 301 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 6: it could also serve the purpose of nominating Biden outside 302 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 6: the convention early to put a stop to all of 303 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 6: this discussion before they even get through the convention. 304 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: You're listening to Bloomberg Daybreak today, your morning brief on 305 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 306 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 307 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 308 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: get your podcast. 309 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 310 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 311 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 312 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 2: Bloomberg one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine 313 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: sixty in San Francisco. 314 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: Flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon 315 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: alection devices.
