Famed conservative journalist who hates Trump says Biden's weak stance on ... trends now
Biden's weak stance on students' pro Palestine protests will spell disaster for him at the polls, a famed conservative journalist has warned.
Andrew Sullivan says Biden's lackluster approach to campus chaos is enough to see him booted from the White House.
This combined with 'chaotic' border policies and Biden's stance on transgender rights will be enough to snuff out any chances of re-election, according to Sullivan, a gay conservative journalist.
'Biden is losing this election, deservedly,' he wrote on his Substack. 'And if he cannot pull off an almighty pivot — and I suspect at this point, he really can't — this election really is Trump's to lose.'
Outlining his reasoning, he pointed to the student protests over the Vietnam war in 1968 which are largely blamed for costing the Democrats in the election of Richard Nixon.

Sullivan, who is a staunch critic of Donald Trump, now fears the ex-president will be able to capitalize on Biden's oversights to get back into office.
'This is how you re-elect Trump: keep pandering to the far left, suck up to wealthy college grads, allow millions of fraudulent "asylum-seekers" to enter the country, insist that men are women, discriminate against whites and Asians and men, while constantly appearing as merely reacting to events rather than creating new political realities,' Sullivan wrote.
His comments echoed those by Stephen Collinson, a political analyst for left-wing CNN.
'President Joe Biden can ill afford a long, hot summer of protest that comes to a boil in time for the Democratic National Convention in August and then bleeds into the final weeks of an already venomous clash with Donald Trump,' he wrote.
More than 76 universities have seen pro Palestine protests crop up in recent weeks and more than 2,000 activists have been arrested.
On Thursday, Biden finally addressed the escalating turmoil, following scenes of protesters destroying university property and replacing Old Glory with the Palestinian flag.
However, he was careful not to further alienate progressive voters who have already become disillusioned with his stance on the war in Gaza.
'I understand people have strong feelings and deep convictions,' he said.
