Former President Donald Trump is planning a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, at the southern tip of the Jersey Shore, a heavily Republican area in the traditionally blue state of New Jersey. Trump, who lost New Jersey to President Biden by 16 points in the previous election, expressed optimism about his chances in the state during a recent radio interview.
Despite Democratic opposition, Trump's campaign is eyeing opportunities to flip blue states like Minnesota and Virginia, where he believes he can garner support from rural white voters without college degrees. Internal surveys shared by Trump's campaign advisers suggest that both Minnesota and Virginia are potential targets for the former president.
On the other hand, the Biden campaign remains confident in its stronghold in Minnesota and Virginia, emphasizing their strong coalition in both states. Biden's team is focusing on battlegrounds like North Carolina and Florida, where they aim to maintain their edge in fundraising and ground-game operations.
Trump's campaign is gearing up for a rematch in the seven crucial swing states that decided the 2020 election, with both campaigns looking to expand the electoral map. While Trump plans to return to Minnesota for a state GOP fundraising dinner, Biden's campaign director stressed the importance of engaging voters on the ground in key states.
As the 2024 election approaches, both campaigns are strategizing to secure the necessary electoral votes for victory. Trump's team sees potential in flipping states like Minnesota and Virginia, while Biden's campaign is focused on maintaining its strong coalition in key battlegrounds.
