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.

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 he's currently behind in at least one of the swing states that cost her the election.

If he doesn't get his act together and stops turning droves away from voting at all, he's going to lose.

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