CNN host Dana Bash appeared stunned at how former President Trump is leading against President Biden on most critical issues in Michigan.
While discussing polling conducted in Michigan and Pennsylvania showing Trump leading in the Great Lakes State while both presumptive candidates tied in the Keystone State, Bash noted that Biden cannot afford to lose any other swing states if Trump wins both.
Such as “Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, or Nebraska’s second congressional district, or he will not win the White House.”
The CNN host also expressed shock that “abortion and democracy” are “the only two issues” where Biden has gained an advantage.
“Then you look at other issues: U.S and world affairs, economy, immigration, Israel/Gaza, Trump has an advantage and it’s actually- if you look at the Israel-Gaza question, the fact that Trump has a 20-point advantage in Michigan. I mean, the world is upside down,” she said.
Watch
CNN political director David Chalian said Trump’s advantage might be down to the dissatisfaction with Michigan’s large population of Muslims and Biden’s position on Israel.
Chalian said:
“But I think that finding probably explains a lot of Joe Biden’s troubles in Michigan right now as well.”
“I mean, it’s obviously an issue that we saw in the primary where the uncommitted vote against him, we see young voters, independents, people who have been affiliated with this, calling for a ceasefire movement, very frustrated with the president and his policies, and so that’s clearly partly at play here in Michigan.”
“Yeah. No question,” Bash replied.
“But it’s hard to imagine that Donald Trump will be any more sympathetic to what’s going on in Gaza than Joe Biden is, which is what is so surprising.”
“It has nothing to do with their actual policy positions, right, necessarily or what he’s proposing,” he said.
As Fox News noted, In February, 100,000 people voted “uncommitted” in the Michigan Democrat primary as a warning to Biden that they may stay home on Election Day if he continues his current stance on Israel.
