Joe Biden today condemned Trump for the Omaha rally:

"[It] captures President Trump's whole approach to this crisis ... He gets his photo op and he gets out. He leaves everyone else to suffer the consequence of his failure."

Polls say Trump is in danger. These shifting voters are the reason why.

They are some of the most powerful voters in the world. They are the people who would end Trump's presidency.

They tend to lack enthusiasm for either major party and fall into several categories - swing voters, centrist, and moderates; first time voters; people who vote for 3rd parties;

and people who sometimes don't vote at all (these groups are now voting to get rid of Trump). The articles forgot about the suburban moms all the US that watched with horror how Trump's gestapos teargassed the "wall of moms". Another group the article failed to address were the renegade republicans or the so called never trumpers that swelled in size.

And they all spell trouble for Trump.

.........................
Peg Bohnert is one of them.

The Arizona retiree describes herself as an independent who leans Republican. She voted for Trump in 2016, figuring she'd give him a chance, in the hope the federal government might run more efficiently under a businessman.

By Day 2 of Trump's presidency, she concluded she'd made a mistake.

It happened when the first White House press briefing of the Trump era was dedicated to arguing about the size of his inauguration crowd. The subsequent four years have only cemented her antipathy toward him.

'I trusted Trump' — until Day 2
"I trusted [Trump]. I no longer trust him, and I won't trust him again. Because he lies," Bohnert said.

"No moral compass. No empathy. No kindness."

She said she's shy nowadays when she travels to even identify as an American: "He's made us look like fools — as a country."

A major reason Trump won in 2016 was support from the so-called double-haters — people who disliked both him and Hillary Clinton.

Che Eng is one of them. He reluctantly cast his ballot for Trump in 2016.

"I despised Hillary [Clinton]," said the Arizona medical doctor. "Trump was an outsider. I gave him a chance."

He's disdainful of both major parties, seeing them as irresponsible, with Democrats too far left and Republicans too far right.

The 'double-haters' turn on Trump
His breaking point with Trump came in late 2017; he worried about federal analysis showing a growing national debt because of a tax-cut bill Trump signed.

While he's no big fan of Joe Biden's, either, Eng voted for him a few days ago.

"It pains me," Eng said of voting Democrat.

Couldn't back Clinton, will back Biden

Arlene Macellaro was another voter uninspired by her options in 2016.

She's a longtime Republican, and former health-care administrator living in Florida's massive Villages retirement community.

She nearly cast a ballot for Hillary Clinton — but got cold feet.

Macellaro opted not to vote at all. She was scared off by the emails scandal; when the FBI announced two weeks before election day 2016 that it was reopening an investigation into Clinton, Macellaro decided to stay home, rather than help elect a president who might immediately face criminal indictment.

She's all in for Biden now.

"Someone asked me yesterday, 'How does it make you feel when you think that your vote, if it's for Joe Biden, could change the complexion and feel of your Republican Party?'" Macellaro said in an interview.

"My answer is, 'I feel good about it because I feel that it gives us hope to believe in the America that I grew up in.'"

The people quoted so far in this story share a few attributes common to the groups of voters turning most aggressively against Trump.

All live in suburbs, they don't have the strongest partisan affiliation, two are women, and they are seniors or, in the case of 62-year-old Eng, close to retirement.

Problems with seniors, suburbs, women, and others
Polls say the president is bleeding votes across those groups and others — including both college-educated and non-college-educated white voters.

Yasser Sanchez is a Latino, a Mormon, and a lawyer in Arizona.

Until recently, he was also a committed Republican — one who actively campaigned for past nominees John McCain and Mitt Romney.

"I never saw a day where I would [support the Democrats]," Sanchez said.

"[Then] Donald Trump happened. … Donald Trump happened to the Republican Party. … Not only will I be voting Joe Biden — I will be campaigning actively to get out the vote for Joe Biden."

Sanchez describes Trump as an autocrat-in-the-making, an existential threat to American democracy, and he calls this the most important election since the Civil War.

New voters enter the mix
Meanwhile, young people keep entering the pool of eligible voters. And they favour Democrats by a huge margin.

Some early indications suggest they are, indeed, voting in greater numbers than in 2016, when lower turnout among young and minority voters hurt Clinton in key swing states.

Nineteen-year-old TeJean Neal just cast his first-ever presidential election ballot in swing-state Wisconsin.

The Milwaukee university student dislikes both candidates: he derides Biden as a neoliberal, old-school, pro-business politician.

But he's voted for him anyway, in order to oust a president he calls far more dangerous: he calls Trump a budding fascist, whose policies disproportionately hurt minority and marginalized people.

"It's not an enthusiastic vote. It's an I-have-privilege vote," said Neal, a student of film and African-diaspora studies at the University of Wisconsin.

"There are more people who would be hurt by the fascist than the neoliberal."

He said he intends to protest a Biden administration from Day 1, on issues from police reform to transitioning from fossil fuels.

But the immediate objective, he said, is beating Trump.

Finally,

Mateo Gomez has also just entered the eligible-voting pool. He arrived in the U.S. as a toddler from Colombia; he's now a 22-year-old MBA student in Florida.

Gomez said he agonized over his vote, his first chance to cast a ballot since obtaining U.S. citizenship.

Unlike Neal, he sees himself as a centrist.

He has participated in town halls with politicians of both parties (including one with Biden) and sees himself as a bit of a peacemaker when his family and friends argue about politics.

Gomez said he considered voting for Trump right up to the last minute – but wound up casting an early ballot for Biden.

The reason? He blamed Republican efforts to end the Obamacare health-insurance system, which his family relies on; he said he also wants better pay for teachers, and more action on climate change.

Gomez lives just north of Miami, one of the places in the U.S. most threatened by flooding and extreme weather.

"I try to see both sides. I try to avoid the drama," he said.

The article was missing those imparted by Trump's recklessness in handling Covid too.

congrats again on your record breaking foreign affairs section thread.

a quick analytical question for you closer to home.

whom are you leaning towards for 2023 in Naija?

I was leaning towards VP-Professor Osinbajo until the Malami/Magu scandal. It didn't directly involve him but I think he's had enough of Abuja and politics. former Governor Obi talks a good game.
Minister Rotimi Amaechi may be getting in shape for a run.
I know Atiku is still hungry and thirsty for the big chair in Aso Rock. cheesy
