Oof.

After months of speculation, former Vice President Joe Biden officially announced his candidacy for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.

It wasn't long before President Donald Trump responded via Twitter, deriding Biden with the nickname "Sleepy Joe."


Trump chastised Biden again while speaking with reporters on the White House lawn:

"Well I think that I just feel like a young man...I am a young, vibrant man. I look at Joe, and I don't know about him," the president said. When asked how he intended to beat Biden, Trump responded: "I would say easily."

However, the first poll since Biden's announcement spells bad news for Trump.

The survey, conducted by Hill-HarrisX, surveyed 1,000 registered voters. Biden bested Trump, 43 percent to 37 percent, indicating that an election between the two may pose more of a challenge to Trump than expected.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Trump performed the strongest with voters over 50, while Biden performed the best with voters 35-49, while still defeating Trump among voters under 35.

Many expressed support for Biden in response to the poll.

Some reminded others of a lesson learned the hard way in 2016.

The assurance of polls should never outweigh the importance of action.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
