Joe Biden

Sen. Katie Britt's State of the Union response after President Joe Biden addressed Congress has moved on from being mocked for the Alabama Republican's over-the-top dramatic presentation to being ripped apart for a blatant lie at the center of her speech.

At the center of the controversy was Britt's claim that, after she took office, the GOP senator stated she traveled to Texas where she met a woman who had been a victim of sex trafficking, with Britt telling a national TV audience the woman "... had been sex trafficked by the cartels starting at age 12. She told me not just that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped."

According to conservative pollster Sarah Longwell, voters are less concerned with Donald Trump's age than they are worried about his mental fitness as they look at the presidential choices in 2024.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Longwell — founder of Republican Voters Against Trump — was asked about voter worries about both Trump and President Joe Biden and she replied the public seem to hold them to two different standards.

"I wonder, in your focus groups, how the two issues are bearing out, both the question of the acuity of both of these candidates and the comparison points between the two of them" co-host Alicia Menendez pressed.

"Look, whether it is fair or not, voters don't question Trump's mental capacity, they are questioning his sanity," she replied. "They question whether he is fit enough to be commander in chief from a moral and ethical standpoint."

"Trump has big lunatic energy," she remarked, as the hosts laughed. "He just doesn't come off the same way that Biden does. So the concerns for voters around age do rest with President Biden."

According to conservative political strategist and polling expert Sarah Longwell, both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden have a problem with voters who are unhappy about their choices in the upcoming presidential election.

And that is worse news for the four-time indicted former president.

Speaking with CNN host Chris Wallace, Longwell discussed voters labeled "double haters" in a New York Times/Sienna College poll that pegged their number at a whopping 19 percent of the electorate.

That huge number is where the election will be won or lost she explained.

"I want to talk to you about something I've been hearing a term in the last few days that is new to me: 'double haters,'" host Wallace prompted. "I want to put up a poll. I have to say, I like this, it fits the campaign perfectly. In a New York Times poll, 19 percent were described as double-haters because they disapprove of both Biden and Trump. And Biden is, correct, currently leading among the double-haters 45 percent to 33 percent."

"So Sarah are the double-haters a real thing and who's going to end up winning the double-haters," he asked.

"So I conduct focus groups all the time and the double haters are absolutely a real thing," Longwell replied. "In fact, because we have this phenomenon here, where you essentially have two incumbents running against each other, the persuadable chunk of voters is different this time."

"It is people who have, they, they know both these guys and they don't like either," she continued. "And so that's why this is going to be a really negative campaign because persuadable voters — to bring them over — you're gonna have to make them hate the other guy more."

"The phrase that we hear in focus groups all the time, and if it was a drinking game we'd all be dead, is 'the first lesser of two evils' and what they mean is 'I'm basically going to make my decision on who I hate, slightly less' and Biden usually cleans up on that front because people hate Trump a little bit more," she concluded.
