(Washington) President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign promises to keep the states that won him the White House in 2020, but also to compete in others where he lost such as North Carolina and Florida.
In her first in-depth comments on the strategy since being named Joe Biden’s campaign manager last month, Julie Chavez Rodriguez wrote in a memo to “interested parties” that the 2024 race presents “significant opportunities for increase Democratic support”.
Mme Rodriguez said the re-election campaign includes early investments to try to retain key states the Democratic president won in 2020, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada and New Hampshire. The campaign also wants to keep Georgia and Arizona, which had not voted Democratic in a presidential race in decades before 2020, in its fold.
But the campaign will also “seek to expand the map even further in states like North Carolina and Florida” and Mme Rodriguez added that the two would be included in a “seven-figure” publicity salvo in key states.
Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is asking Americans to allow him to “finish the job” he started, and seeks to portray Republicans as “extremists” who support Donald Trump and who she says are a threat to American values.
Donald Trump is looking to win the White House for the third time, and although Mr.me Rodriguez doesn’t mention it by name, she predicted that Biden would ‘once again prevail over the extremist MAGA agenda [Make America Great Again] ».
Mr. Biden’s political advisers have long said he beat Mr. Trump once and can do it again. And if someone else wins the Republican nomination — like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is widely seen as a top alternative to Donald Trump — the Biden team maintains the same strategy can work since most Republicans did little to distance themselves from the MAGA movement.
The M ratingme Rodriguez doesn’t talk about it, but pitting Joe Biden against his opponent may be the president’s most effective re-election tactic. An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll released last month found that only about half of Democrats think 80-year-old Joe Biden should run again. But as many as 81% said they would at least likely support him in the 2024 general election if he is the candidate.
