Former Vice President Joe Biden waves to spectators while attending a commissioning ceremony for the USS Gabrielle Giffords in Galveston, Texas on Saturday, June 10, 2017.

President Donald Trump’s team is getting increasingly worried about Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, three states without which Trump would not have been elected in 2016.

According to Politico, the campaign just concluded polling and found that former Vice President Joe Biden is currently leading the President in all three states.

Campaign operatives are particularly concerned after the widespread Republican losses in 2018, and how Trump’s escalating trade war will likely hurt farmers in those places.

  1. Wasn’t he polling behind Hillary at this stage in 2016? Why worry? Doesn’t sound confident.

  2. Always happy to see Dems ahead of Trump especially in these 3 states but, it’s a long way to November 2020 anything can happen.
