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.

For those not paying attention:
In 2020 Biden lost Florida by the largest margin in 20 years, despite polling 3 point ahead before the election.

Right now trump is up 7 point…

Florida is not where Biden needs to focus, it’s all those states where just 30k votes got him the election.
Like, if we’re really stuck with Biden, can his campaign at least act rationally this time?
