Trump campaign says it doesn't need to win Florida — but will win Florida

by Rob Crilly, White House Correspondent
September 22, 2020 12:48 PM

The Trump campaign sees a path to winning reelection — even if it loses Florida.

Having redrawn the electoral map in 2016, the argument runs that he can get away with losing both Arizona or Florida and still clinch 270 Electoral College votes.

“Now, by no means do we think the president is not going to carry Florida, in fact,” said Nick Trainer, the director of battleground strategy, cutting off his own train of thought during a recent briefing with journalists — before he, in turn, was cut off mid-sentence by campaign manager Bill Stepien.

“Let me say it again: The president will win Florida,” said Stepien.

So, the president does not have to win Florida. He can get by with expanding his map in the Midwest. But he will win Florida. Get it?

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Dare I say again, that I still think Trump may not take FL and may have problems in TX?   DeSantis who was backed by Trump very narrowly won by 0.4% and demographics in TX have significantly changed.

Yeah, they do.  I don't see a path if they don't take Florida.  They've pretty much written off Michigan and if they lose Florida then they're at 260.  Wisconsin, Arizona, and Pennsylvania are all toss-ups that could easily swing to Biden.  I don't know where they make up the difference.
