New poll shows Trump widening lead over Biden
Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce and former Rep. Patrick Murphy discuss the White House Correspondents' Dinner and Biden's poor polling.
It’s not just atrocious polls that suggest President Joe Biden will lose in November; it’s also the behavior of the White House. In just the past few weeks, the Biden administration has rolled out over a dozen new initiatives and rules, many of them – like banning development of Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve – likely to impact our country far into the future. It’s a startling avalanche of executive activity.
Call me crazy, but that looks like a White House panicked that its days are numbered.
Who can blame them? A new national CNN poll shows Trump leading the president by six points, one of the biggest gaps yet; more important, Fox News surveys have Trump inching ahead in several critical swing states.
NEW POLL REVEALS WHAT BIDEN HAS IN COMMON WITH THESE ONE-TERM PRESIDENTS
Bad polls, an unpopular president, disruptive protests at home and rising threats around the world, sinking consumer confidence and resurgent inflation; all signs point to defeat in November. Hence, the whirlwind of regulations, which includes the following:
1. New FTC rules that ban non-compete agreements;
2. A re-write of Title IX;
3. EEOC charges of racism against a company because they avoided hiring criminals;
4. More federal help on student loans;
5. FTC preventing the merger of two luxury goods makers;
6. New overtime rules;

7. New regulations detailing airline refunds;
8. New decision restricting drilling in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve;
9. FTC blocking hospital group mergers;
10. New power plant emissions rules;
11. Putting on hold a ban on menthol cigarettes;
12. A revamp of school lunch mandates, reducing sugar and salt.
The Biden administration appears to be preparing for the worst, pushing through policies that could be overturned if passed later in the year. Congress has 60 days to nix rules promulgated by federal agencies with a simple majority; if there’s a red wave, Biden diktats adopted in the traditional "lame duck" session would likely disappear. The Trump administration employed that tool successfully, ditching several policies rolled out late in President Obama’s second term; Biden returned the favor when he came to office.
