On Tuesday, a new poll from Monmouth University showed Joe Biden tripling his lead in Pennsylvania with likely voters. After a previous poll from the same outfit had found a close race, Biden is now found ahead by 12 points, and cresting the 50-percent mark.

Enraged, President Donald Trump took to Twitter and expressed his fury and bewilderment that his opponent is beating him there.
