Biden\u2019s campaign pushed back on that comparison as an \u201cover-exaggeration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden has seen several protest votes in Democratic primaries in states like Michigan, along with continued protests from students and young people on the Israel-Hamas war. The November election between Biden and former President Donald Trump is expected to be close, but Biden currently trails Trump in most polls \u2014 in a reversal of the polling data from four years ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When asked again on <em>Meet the Press<\/em> if he still thinks Gaza could be Biden\u2019s Vietnam, Sanders said, \u201cOf course\u201d it runs the risk of happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people are very disappointed,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cIt\u2019s hurting him politically.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) emphasizes President Joe Biden&#8217;s Gaza conflict management may alienate young voters and the Democratic base.
