New York has essentially been a blue state for the past two decades, however in recent weeks it has become clear that this election season, it is in play for Republicans. Four years after Joe Biden bested Donald Trump there by 23 points in polling, polls have shown that the gap is narrowing following Biden’s miserable debate performanc.
Many Democratic allies of the president in the state have voiced their concerns about the possibility their party may lose ground. Few, however, have called on Biden to step down, with the most prominent politicians making it clear they still plan on backing him come November.
As Politico reports, a number of Democratic Party officials past and present have called on Biden to accept that New York is not as secure as it was during the last election, and spend more of his time and money there. While Biden was recently in the Hamptons for a private fundraiser, he has been urged to try and connect with everyday voters, as Trump did when he held a massive rally in the Bronx. On the night Trump attended a wake for a fallen NYPD officer, Biden partied at a tony, celeb-studded fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall.
