Biden campaign to expand map with Texas and Florida

[oldtimer]

Expanding the map to North Carolina was smart, given that he only lost it by 1 in 2020 (which I didn't know).

Expanding it to Florida and Texas is dumb as hell.

The only reason to expand it to Texas & Florida maybe because of the Senate Races otherwise it makes no political sense.

You gotta first secure MN, MI, WI, PA and then when you have a reasonable lead there expand to other States.

The Biden Campaign is stupid as hell.

They have plenty of money to put resources into all those states. It's the Trump campaign that is going to have to be selective about where to compete and considering the state of the RNC finances Minnesota is off the table.

By all means Biden can throw money in Kentucky if he wants too, but he's not going to even reduce the margin.

Might as well light that money on fire. A better use would be to put it into North Carolina.

It is not lighting money on fire. Spending in TX/FL can still have positive benefits downballot. Trump spending in NY and CA to help out vulnerable House Republicans.

Bidens Unpopularity will leave him with a certain Ceiling I think. Yeah, he may outrun his JA by 3 or 4 Points but not by 8-9 like he would need to, to actually win either TX or FL.

He doesn’t need to win either of those states. But he can force Trump to divert his resources to TX/FL.

True but I doubt Trump will take the bait. Trumps Campaign Team in 2024 is better compared to these humps like Bill Parscale & Bill Stepien in 2020.

For example Trumps own Internal Numbers have him up between 9-13 in FL from what I have gathered thus far.

I agree that Parscale was crap:

"campaign manager Brad Parscale to add New Mexico to his “watch list” — a list of nontraditional battleground states, including Maine, Colorado, Minnesota and Virginia"

Not a single state on Parscale's list was within 5 points, Minnesota being the closest at Biden +8. There wasn't even any public polling supporting Parscale's assumptions.
