Joe Biden has a plan to beat President Trump and when I tell you what it is, you’re likely going to think it’s pretty dumb.
Biden’s “electoral map” strategy has been revealed and he will be placing all his eggs in one state’s basket.
Which state?
Florida.
That’s how Biden thinks he can beat Trump, is by taking Florida.
I have suspected all along that Biden would pick Val Deming’s as his VP, so if he does that – this whole “plan” of his will make perfect sense.
As reported by The Hill, the Biden camp is putting a lot of resources into the Sunshine State, which the president won in 2016 by more than 100,000 votes over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
However, in this election cycle, the Biden campaign believes it can put Florida back into the ‘blue’ column on the presumption that the state went for the Obama-Biden ticket twice, in 2008 and 2012.
One strategy being employed thus far: The Biden camp is hitting the president over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, as cases have risen in Florida in recent days. The former VP’s campaign advisers sense that COVID-19 will become a key campaign issue that will work in Biden’s favor in Florida especially.
In addition, Biden has slammed the president and his administration over an alleged lack of preparation for the upcoming hurricane season.
“This year, we have headed into hurricane season while combating a catastrophic public health and economic crisis. Unemployment is at historic levels. State safety-net systems and services already are overwhelmed. Daily protests have brought thousands into the streets to demand racial justice,” Biden wrote in a Miami Herald op-ed.
But if you ask me, it’s not a good plan.
First off, the polling is way off – oversampling Dems by big numbers. Even Dem politicians in Florida are expressing “concern” over those polls.
Trump has always been very good at getting federal aid out to states and territories in need very quickly.
This idea that Florida blames Trump for COVID is also bizarre – actually, DeSantis handled the COVID situation really well and re-opened early.
And speaking of DeSantis, he’s one of the most popular governors in the country and is a staunch ally of Trump’s.
And finally, President Trump has made Florida his “home state,” which will make it tough to beat him. there.
