Trump, the 2024 Moderate

RealClearPolitics has a column by Ben Shapiro, who makes an interesting point concerning President Biden's problems with voters, as reflected in nearly every poll done this year. The following quotes summarize his insight.

Joe Biden is losing to Donald Trump because of a dirty little secret: Donald Trump is actually the moderate in this race. On nearly every issue, Trump is closer to the median voter than Biden.

Meanwhile, Trump is winning over more and more vote-switchers. That's because his positions are moderate.

Shapiro adds Trump's positions on abortion, immigration, spending and inflation are more mainstream. Biden's too often reflect the extreme views of The Squad.
