Trump appeared at a volunteer campaign recruitment event late Saturday to blast President Joe Biden and rally Republican support as he works to solidify his position within the party. He bashed the president's "Bidenomics" agenda and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who is Trump's main opponent in the GOP primary.
Polling tracked by FiveThirtyEight shows Biden with a slight lead over Trump for the 2024 election. Most recently, a poll from Public Opinion Strategies marks Biden with a 47% lead over Trump's 43%.
