Biden campaign manager touts 'multiple pathways' to victory
By Tal Axelrod - 09/15/20 08:07 PM EDT
Joe Biden’s campaign manager said Tuesday that the former vice president is prepared for “multiple pathways†to victory over President Trump this November as he continues to lead in national and swing state polling.
“I would say based on the stability of the race [and] the strong support the vice president has, that we maintain the same pathways and have seen an expanded footprint on states that are in play than we have seen in recent memory,†Jennifer O’Malley Dillon said in a livestreamed interview with Politico.
O’Malley Dillon pointed to Biden’s polling lead in swing states like Florida and the crucial Rust Belt battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, though she’s noted the race with Trump has tightened in recent months. She also said the campaign is “super bullish†on flipping Arizona, a historically Republican-friendly state that polls show is highly competitive this year.
O’Malley Dillon’s remarks come as polling shows Biden with leads in virtually every swing state as well as competitive contests in states that have traditionally been more Republican-leaning, including Georgia, Iowa, Ohio and even Texas.
