If Nothing Matters, Biden Likely Wins

September 12, 2020 · 1:29 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Harry Enten: “Some people call Donald Trump’s term in office the ‘nothing matters’ presidency. The phrase is usually applied to Trump by his detractors, who cannot believe his standing with the American public is stable despite what he says and does. They mean it as good news for Trump.”

“Yet the numbers suggest something quite different. Nothing may really matter, but that’s actually bad news for Trump and good news for his opponent, Joe Biden.”

“The fact is that Trump doesn’t need stability. He needs something to change because he’s unpopular and losing the race for a second term.”
