Joe Biden has emerged from a contested Democratic primary with surprising party unity and without any serious threat on his left flank, according to New York Times/Siena College polls of the six battleground states likeliest to decide the presidency.
Over all, voters in the battleground states who said Bernie Sanders was their top choice for president said they backed Mr. Biden over President Trump, 87 percent to 4 percent. If there was a Bernie-or-Bust movement, it has either faded with the conclusion of the Democratic race, or it never existed in serious numbers in the battleground states.
Mr. Biden commands even more significant support from voters who supported Elizabeth Warren in the primary. The Democrats who said she was their top choice to be the Democratic nominee backed Mr. Biden over Mr. Trump by a staggering margin of 96 percent to 0 percent even wider than Mr. Bidens 96-1 lead among those who said he was their top choice in the Democratic primary.

(30,613 posts)I was a Bernie supporter, then Warren. I'm with the 96% who want to crush the Russiapublicans to a fine powder. I'm eagerly awaiting Joe's presidency, along with Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer.

So, in order to win in November and beat Trump, I'll have to vote for Joe.

(1,206 posts)Trump must not get another term. I'm hoping - as some folks have predicted - that he leaves before Biden is sworn in just so the White House can be aired out for at least a couple of weeks or months.

Chayssus on temporary duty from heaven and I would still vote for the Dem candidate.
Our country can't take another four years of their lying, cheating and stealing.
