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

Campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a memo that investing in Florida is part of the Biden campaign’s pathway to 270 electoral votes. Trump won the Sunshine State in 2020 with more than 51 percent, compared to Biden’s 48 percent.

“Make no mistake: Florida is not an easy state to win, but it is a winnable one for President Biden, especially given Trump’s weak, cash-strapped campaign, and serious vulnerabilities within his coalition,” she said.

The Biden campaign has also set its sights on flipping North Carolina 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.

    I think roughly 10-20% of the Republican party is, because of Jan 6, never Trump voters.

    Almost 70% of the party also believes Trump won the election. Last report I saw I think said 66%. It’s actually gone up since the election.

    I get what you’re saying but it really is Trump’s party and a lot of the people wagging their finger at him will still pull the lever for his presidency.
