Biden Campaign Testing Kamala Harris vs. Trump

“Under siege from fellow Democrats, President Biden’s campaign is quietly testing the strength of Vice President Kamala Harris against former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head survey of voters, as Mr. Biden fights for his political future with a high-stakes news conference on Thursday,” the New York Times reports.

“The survey, which is being conducted this week and was commissioned by the Biden campaign’s analytics team, is believed to be the first time since the debate that Mr. Biden’s aides have sought to measure how the vice president would fare at the top of the ticket.”

Maggie Haberman: “It could be read as the team gathering information to present a case to the president that his path forward is slim, or that it will be used to argue Biden is still the strongest standard-bearer for his party.”
