Not even close to a Rahm Emanuel fan, but he’s correct, if the election was held today:

Also why Biden should get the nomination and why he polls higher than Trump
Polling in six swing states done by The New York Times and Siena College earlier this month affirms that sense. Almost two-thirds of Democrats (62%) in those states said they prefer a candidate who "promises to find common ground with Republicans: while just 1 in 3 would rather a candidate who "promises to fight for a bold and progressive agenda." A majority (55%) want their presidential nominee to be "more moderate" than most Democrats, while 39% want their nominee to be "more liberal" than most in the party. Among Democratic voters in those six states, 49% identify as "moderate" or "conservative" while 48% call themselves "liberal."
