Biden campaign grapples with undecided voters who don't yet believe Trump could be the nominee

Washington (CNN)— Voting in the Republican primary can’t start soon enough in the minds of President Joe Biden’s campaign advisers.

Even as the Biden reelection campaign forges ahead with preparations for another potential general election match-up between Biden and his predecessor, it is grappling with a stubborn reality: The majority of undecided voters simply do not seem to believe – at least not yet – that Donald Trump is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee.

According to the campaign’s internal research, this is the case for most of the undecided voters that the campaign is targeting – nearly three-in-four of them, senior Biden campaign officials told CNN. Those officials said one of the biggest reasons driving this is the simple fact that many voters are not paying close attention to the election, including the ins and outs of the GOP nomination process.

“You can’t conceive of how tuned out these folks are,” one senior campaign official said.

If it’s not this, it’s that.

Ultimately, it boils down to a binary decision, as I consider any third-party votes to be of little consequence. If you’re ‘undecided’ before Election Day decide to vote for the fascist dictator, you are gullible enough to get ground up like hamberder in the mechanisms of their regime.

question everything
