A recent CNN poll shows more than half of Democrats question
Biden’s fitness. The 80-year-old is running for a second term.
At an unrelated event Thursday, Gov. J.B. Pritzker was asked
about the poll and said Biden’s age brings experience.
“Let’s face it, Joe Biden has gotten more done in two-and-a-half
years as president than most presidents get done in eight years
and it’s because of his experience,” Pritzker said. “So, people
can talk about age, but let’s also talk about experience.”
State Rep. Blain Wilhour, R-Beecher City, said that’s
“laughable.”
“Our silver spoon governor is out of touch,” Wilhour said. “Tell
that to the common working person who’s seen the cost of
survival double because of the policies of Biden and Pritzker,
the inflationary policies.”
Recent data from The Center Square Voters' Voice Poll shows 44%
of respondents have inflation as their top issue, the highest
percentage of any listed. As to the candidates, matchups between
Biden and former President Donald Trump and Biden and Florida
Gov. Ron Desantis are neck and neck, according to the same
polling.
“The choice is not between nobody and Joe Biden, the choice is
between whoever the Republicans pick out of that lineup, the
smorgasbord of extremism from that side the aisle, and Joe
Biden,” Pritzker said.
Wilhour said increasing blue-collar wages and bringing peace in
global affairs or protecting children in school from radical
ideology isn’t extreme.
“But I would call abortion on demand and crazy gender policies
where you can’t even say who’s a boy and who’s a girl, I would
call that stuff extreme,” Wilhour said.
The Center Square Voters' Voice Poll of 2,500 registered voters
across the U.S., conducted by Noble Predictive Insights, found
that 67% of voters are opposed to males who identify as females
playing girls' or women's sports.
