Despite some tough odds pitted against them, the campaign team for President Joe Biden believes they can “flip” Florida to his win column in the 2024 presidential election, due to a number of issues they think will resonate with voters in that state, particularly abortion rights.
In the two presidential campaigns he’s run, former President Donald Trump has won Florida twice, including against Biden in 2020. The state is also Trump’s home state, as he changed his official residency from New York to Florida in 2019 and began living primarily at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Indeed, Republicans have won Florida in four out of the six presidential elections that have occurred since 2000. Many political observers no longer even consider Florida to be the “swing state” it once was in some of those campaigns.
Yet in a new memorandum Biden’s re-election team has produced this week, which several news outlets have published online, the campaign believes it has a stronger chance than it previously had to win the state’s 30 Electoral College votes.
“Florida is not an easy state to win, but it is a winnable one for President Biden, especially given Trump’s weak, cash-strapped campaign, and serious vulnerabilities within his coalition,” Julie Chávez Rodríguez, Biden’s campaign manager, said in the memo.
Claiming they will protect abortions rights again and again, despite doing nothing for 50 years, isnt something people are likely to forget this time.
They’re desperately trying to find somewhere full of boomers so the genocide issue doesn’t kill them but there’s no way the Florida boomers choose 99% Hitler if 100% Hitler is on the ballot.

As an ex-Floridian I find this hard to imagine. Such a festering dumpster fire of a state.
Then you know Dems will dump ungodly amounts of resources into it in order to secure a loss. Brilliant political strategy as always from the DNC.
Sure it’s winnable just not by him
If Trump is just a weak candidate, then Florida is irrelevant. However this only makes sense if you think the DNC/DCCC exist to elect democrats to office. The real purpose of those orgs is to grift, and a casual look at the former DNC Chairs should tell you everything you need to know about credibility.

Additionally the only metric that seems to matter is how much money they raise, you rarely hear about how successful their efforts are and never any introspectives, or concerns of favoritism and perverse incentives of the members to protect incumbents.
