Former Vice President and the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is looking to expand the number of swing states in play in this Novembers election, targeting Republican-leaning states in his bid to unseat President Donald Trump.
Alongside traditional battleground states like Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, and New Hampshire the former three of which Trump won in 2016 the Biden presidential campaign believes it can bring traditionally reliable GOP states into play, like Texas, Georgia, and Arizona, which hold a combined 65 electoral votes, or nearly a quarter of the 270 needed to win the election.
Jen OMalley Dillon, a Biden campaign manager, told reporters Friday that the campaign would be focused both on winning back Democratic-leaning states which Trump flipped in 2016 like Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania as well as traditional battleground states like Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio.
But OMalley Dillon added that the campaign is also eyeing Republican strongholds like Texas, Georgia, and Arizona to broaden the electoral map in play.

Sleepy Joe will probably try to get the green states too.
Not without flipping states Hillary won. Which ones?
Is he going to memorize their names?
Biden’s looking to find a way out of his basement.
Without any luck so far.
Jill made sure of that.
Well relax then. If Biden's breathing then he's the candidate. The Democrats know that the alternatives, Warren and Sanders, are even worse.
“He doesnt need to flip Red states. He just needs to win back Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.”
Correct and that is not going to be too hard if history has any anything to say about it.
Before the Wuhan Flu I would have said “no way would those 3 states go back to the Dems ... now not too optimistic.
Well see. Little things like deadlines and rules wont stop them. Remember that NJ senate race back in 02?
That “someone” is probably a “someone” for whom you voted, DoodleDawg — in 1992.
Bush-1 lost because he raised taxes after vowing that he wouldn’t.
No doubt the higher taxes pleased you.
If Biden flips Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin then Trump is not going to flip Nevada or Minnesota. If Trump keeps two or three of the those states then adding Nevada or Minnesota to his total is not out of the question.
Could very well be the path to their victory is to show the actual candidate the least.
That’s like saying your local high school team is looking to beat the Patriots’ passing game.
I was 12 in 1992, so no. I didn't vote for Clinton.
Bush-1 lost because he raised taxes after vowing that he wouldnt.
Of course. Who can forget the internal rallying cry for the Clinton campaign, "It's the taxes, stupid?" </sarcasm>
No doubt the higher taxes pleased you.
In 1992? Didn't bother me in the least.
Of course they are.
As I have said a number of times, and been roundly criticized for it, Trump is not running against Biden, he's running against Covid and the economy.
Biden would need a Blue Ribbon Committee to flip a pancake.
OMalley and company taking Biden donors for a ride is all I see here.
