Trump Compares Himself to Trump as Swing State Odds Dead Heat
Former US President Donald Trump celebrated two golf trophies won at his own golf club’s awards Sunday.
To be clear, there won't be any odds offered on Trump winning any future championships.
Certainly the administration of current President Joe Biden must be celebrating some good news Tuesday morning.
Biden has gained ground in six swing states post-State of the Union. Trump had consistently led in most of those six states over the past several months.
The Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll came out Tuesday morning and these were the key takeaways, courtesy of Axios:
- The polls showed the president with a 1-point lead in Wisconsin and tied with Trump in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
- Biden drew closer in Nevada, trailing Trump there 46-44 — well within the poll's margin of error for that state.
- Despite some Biden gains, Trump's lead remained significant in Arizona (5 points) and North Carolina (6 points).
- Trump's lead grew only in Georgia, where Bloomberg/Morning Consult had him ahead by 7 points, up from 6 in February.
The odds haven't shifted as of yet. Trump holds a lead of -120, Biden +120.
In other news, Trump compared himself to Jesus on his Truth Social media platform on Monday during a hearing in the New York "hush money" court case where he is accused of paying off an adult film star, Stormy Daniels, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed a 34-count felony indictment against Trump, alleging that the former president "repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election."
"They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause. In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer. Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few, And let another take his office," he wrote.
