President Bidenā€™s reelection campaign announced Monday that it will aim to flip Florida, targeting the home of former President Trump.

Campaign managerĀ Julie Chavez RodriguezĀ said in a memo that investing in Florida is part of the Biden campaignā€™s pathway to 270 electoral votes. Trump won the Sunshine State in 2020 with more than 51 percent, compared to Bidenā€™s 48 percent.

ā€œMake no mistake: Florida is not an easy state to win, but it is a winnable one for President Biden, especially given Trumpā€™s weak, cash-strapped campaign, and serious vulnerabilities within his coalition,ā€ she said.

ā€¦

The Biden campaign has also set its sightsĀ on flipping North CarolinaĀ in November. Trump won North Carolina by a tight margin in 2020, and Biden visited the state as part of his tour of every battleground state last month.

    This is hopefully the plan. The tris that Biden NEEDS to actually play some 4D chess. Keep the Trump campaign guessing and keep out maneuvering them.

      Not to pick nits, but applying pressure to an area so that your opponent has to defend is basically just regular chess.

        Yeah, the 4D chess was a joke. Whether Trump has anyone who is actually smart in his campaign hardly matters with the kid gloves everyone (the courts and most media) treats him with.
