President Bidenās reelection campaign announced Monday that it will aim to flip Florida, targeting the home of former President Trump.
Campaign managerĀ Julie Chavez RodriguezĀ said in a memo that investing in Florida is part of the Biden campaignās pathway to 270 electoral votes. Trump won the Sunshine State in 2020 with more than 51 percent, compared to Bidenās 48 percent.
āMake no mistake: Florida is not an easy state to win, but it is a winnable one for President Biden, especially given Trumpās weak, cash-strapped campaign, and serious vulnerabilities within his coalition,ā she said.

The Biden campaign has also set its sightsĀ on flipping North CarolinaĀ in November. Trump won North Carolina by a tight margin in 2020, and Biden visited the state as part of his tour of every battleground state last month.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
āMake no mistake: Florida is not an easy state to win, but it is a winnable one for President Biden, especially given Trumpās weak, cash-strapped campaign, and serious vulnerabilities within his coalition,ā she said.
She also outlined that the Biden campaign has been focused on Latino outreach, and Florida has a large Cuban, Venezuelan, and Puerto Rican population.
She called Florida āa state where President Biden has a compelling story of results, Trump and Rick Scottās extreme agenda is making Floridiansā lives worse, and the Democratic coalition is growing and energized.ā
Chavez Rodriguez outlined that abortion will beĀ on the ballot in Florida, where the state Supreme Court issued aĀ ruling that puts a six-week banĀ into effect May 1.
Democrats see abortion as a winning issue for them in 2024 after experiencing better-than-expected results in the midterm elections months after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
She also argued that Florida has rising housing costs and ranks 44th among states with health insurance access, citingĀ The Commonwealth Fund.
