Democrats debate Biden effort to expand map against Trump
By Amie Parnes - 06/30/20 06:00 AM EDT

Democrats say Joe Biden’s campaign should go big and expand the map to try to give the former vice president several paths to 270 electoral votes and the possibility of a landslide victory over President Trump.

“We’re running against a guy who cares deeply about size and numbers,” said one Democratic strategist. “The best way to tell him to go home is with a resounding defeat. ... That’s the only language he understands.”

Another Democratic strategist, Joel Payne, put it this way: “You don’t want a squeaker if nothing else because you want a government mandate.”


A number of recent polls have indicated Biden has a healthy, double-digit national lead over Trump, and several of the surveys have also pointed to close races in states such as Texas and Georgia, where Republican presidential candidates in recent years have been confident of victory.
