The embattled Biden campaign is quietly testing the strength of Vice President Kamala Harris against former President Donald Trump in head-to-head surveys of voters, according to a report by the New York Times. This strategic move comes amid increasing scrutiny and growing calls for President Biden to end his 2024 re-election bid. The internal polling, conducted by Biden's analytics team, reflects uncertainty within the Democratic Party about Biden's viability as a candidate. This marks the first time since the debate that Biden's aides have assessed Harris's chances against Trump.
