“Over the past several weeks, President Joe Biden has privately expressed confidence that he’s going to win the November election, in a shift from the frustration with the status of his campaign that he was venting to aides just a couple months ago,” NBC News reports.
“The turnabout in Biden’s mood has been propelled in part by recent polling that shows him gaining ground against former President Donald Trump. But, they added, he’s also been buoyed by more frequent trips to battleground states and an apparent coalescence around his candidacy by some Democrats who had yet to embrace him.”
“The president has particularly been cheered by specific metrics his campaign advisers are now providing to him on a regular basis: the increasing number of campaign offices being opened and staff being hired, as well as efforts to expand the reach of the campaign’s low-dollar fundraising program.”
