In a recent survey conducted by the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll, former President Donald Trump has beaten President Joe Biden. Here’s the full story.
The Poll
The 2024 presidential race hypothetical matchup poll results revealed that Trump currently holds a six-point lead over Biden, with 45 percent of respondents indicating they would vote for the former president compared to 39 percent for Biden.

Effect of Trump’s Indictment
