'The Five': What is the Trump trial end game?
'The Five' co-hosts discuss the NY v. Trump trial after both sides rest and closing arguments begin next week.
Former President Trump is leading President Biden across seven states that could determine the results of the heated 2024 presidential contest.
A new Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey asking voters from key states who they would vote for in the upcoming presidential election found Trump is leading Biden 48% to 44% across the seven key swing states in play — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The poll also found individual state polling from states previously won by Biden in 2020 reveals Trump is now the candidate of choice.
