Biden, in the last 2 months, has picked up Ohio and North Carolina, but now it looks as though the balance is getting baked in for the swing states.
Iowa, Texas and Georgia may slip away too if the Trump campaign doesn't find its bearings. Why isn't Kellyanne Conway running the campaign? I can't figure that out. She did a good job for Trump last time. Why pick dubious people to head his campaign this time? Why waste money running ads in DC when Trump doesn't stand a ghost of a chance there? Someone said it was to make Trump feel good when he saw them on Fox News.
Trump Is Spending on Ads in D.C. Market, Again: Campaign Update
The president’s campaign has booked $38,000 worth of ad time on Fox News Channel in the Washington, D.C., market starting Monday, according to the advertising firm Medium Buying.
Although Trump has little chance of capturing the District’s three electoral votes -- he got 4.1% of the vote in 2016 -- he’s spent more than $600,000 on ads there this year, according to Advertising Analytics.
I think maybe Conway was offered the job but turned it down, not wanting to go through a senseless campaign focusing on soothing Trump's ego instead of tackling things that needed done.
The Trump campaign scoffed at Texas going blue -- but then Trump did visit Texas. He's ahead there by less than 1%. "Quick, suppress the vote! We don't know an honest way to win Texas." He's still ahead in Iowa and Georgia too, but with less than 2%. Both states have a fairly big "undecided" voters. Then there's Alaska where Trump insulted the Republican Senator. He has a 3% lead there but with 7% undecided, he could lose there too. If anyone had told me four years ago that Texas and Alaska could be close to going blue in this election, I wouldn't have believed it; but I can believe it after seeing how Trump has been wrecking the Republican Party for over three years.
