In our poll with Morning Consult, more than a third of voters believe Democrats should abandon Joe Biden as their nominee over the recent sexual assault claims
The Tara Reade allegations aren’t helping.A new poll and interviews with Democratic strategists indicate that the sexual assault charges immediately complicate the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee’s efforts to broaden his support. The POLITICO/Morning Consult poll released Tuesday shows that more than a third of voters believe Democrats should abandon Biden as their nominee over the recent claims from the former Senate aide that date back to the early 1990s.
Biden, whom Reade accused of sexually assaulting her in 1993 when she was a young aide in his office, forcefully denied the allegation in the MSNBC interview Friday. “Unequivocally, it never, never happened. It didn’t. It never happened,” he said. “I expect that as Democratic voters learn more about his strong denial and specific calls for transparency, any concerns about this will dissipate," said Meredith Kelly, a Democratic strategist who worked on Kirsten Gillibrand’s presidential campaign.
