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.

    maybe this is pure hubris here, but I think Biden is in for a big win in November

    Yes, it IS pure hubris. He won most mutual states by a smaller margin than Hilary and heā€™s currently behind in at least one of the swing states that cost her the election.

    If he doesnā€™t get his act together and stops turning droves away from voting at all, heā€™s going to lose.

    Just because I know some will trot out this strawman: no, I donā€™t WANT him to lose. Heā€™s by far the lesser evil and if he loses to the mango Mussolini, there might not be another election.
