Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Was 2024 already lost for Democrats before Biden dropped out? Michael examines a provocative argument from veteran Democratic strategist Doug Sosnik: that the 2024 election was effectively decided long before President Biden exited the race. Drawing on Sosnik’s Washington Post analysis, Michael explores three key factors—the decision to seek a second term, public dissatisfaction with immigration policy, and Democratic overconfidence following the 2022 midterms. Was Biden’s late withdrawal merely the final chapter of a campaign already headed for defeat, or could a different nominee and a longer runway have changed the outcome?
