Biden, Warning Trump Could 'Destroy' Democracy, Moves Past GOP Primary

This spring, as the Republican presidential primary race was just beginning, the Democratic National Committee commissioned polling on how the leading Republicans — Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis — fared against President Joe Biden in battleground states.

But now, as Trump’s lead in the primary has grown and hardened, the party has dropped DeSantis from such hypothetical matchups. And the Biden campaign’s polling on Republican candidates is now directed squarely at Trump, according to officials familiar with the surveys.

The sharpened focus on Trump isn’t happening only behind the scenes. Facing waves of polls showing soft support for his reelection among Democrats, Biden and his advisers signaled this week that they were beginning to turn their full attention to his old rival, seeking to reenergize the party’s base and activate donors before what is expected to be a long and grueling sequel.
