Trump campaign considering making a play for blue state Oregon: report
By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 06/11/19 09:45 AM EDT
President Trump's re-election campaign is considering investing in Oregon, CNN reported Tuesday.
The outlet obtained a memo from pollster Tony Fabrizio to the Trump campaign containing ideas for "expanding the map" to give the president more options for getting the 270 electoral votes needed to win the re-election, including Oregon.
A senior Trump campaign source told CNN that they are considering hiring staff to "test the waters" in the state after hearing from Fabrizio and talking to the National Republican Congressional Committee.
"If we are a month out and a previous victory like Michigan is not possible, would be nice to know other states are options," they said.
Trump's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on CNN's report.
