Tapper made the remarks while speaking to Democrat Senator Chris Murphy during Sunday\u2019s episode of \u201cState of the Union.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tapper began, \u201cSo you noted that Biden had had to campaign in addition to being leader to the free world, let\u2019s talk about the campaign because Trump was in battleground Michigan last night making a pitch to African-American voters.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPolls show Biden trailing Trump in key battleground states and polling well behind your senate colleagues who are running for reelection,\u201d Tapper continued. \u201cLook at this New York Times poll from last month. Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin is up nine points in Wisconsin. Biden\u2019s only up two points. Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey up five in Pennsylvania, Biden\u2019s down three, Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego, running for Senate in Arizona, up four, Biden down seven. Nevada, Senator Jacky Rosen up two years in Nevada, Biden\u2019s down 12.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can you look at this, these statistics, these numbers, and not conclude that Joe Biden is a drag on the ticket?\u201d Tapper asked Murphy.<\/p>\n
Murphy replied, \u201cOh, that\u2019s not going to be the case.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut look, look at the numbers,\u201d Tapper said.<\/p>\n
Murphy fired back, \u201cThat\u2019s one poll.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are happy for your colleagues, I\u2019m sure, but Biden is underpolling all of them,\u201d Tapper insisted.<\/p>\n
Murphy shot back, \u201cThat\u2019s one poll. I can also show you 60 other polls that show that Joe Biden is in the lead. There are many polls in swing states that show Joe Biden has a small lead. This is going to be a close race. There\u2019s no doubt about it. But what we have consistently seen is that Democrats are outperforming polls because we\u2019re seeing a surge of turnout, especially young people who are freaked out that Republicans led by Donald Trump are going to take away their right to reproductive healthcare, are going to destroy our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
