https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/27/trump-losing-2020-election-342326Donald Trump knows he's losing.
The president has privately come to that grim realization in recent days, multiple people close to him told POLITICO, amid a mountain of bad polling and warnings from some of his staunchest allies that he's on course to be a one-term president.
----------------
People involved in the campaign say they have settled on two main avenues to go after the former vice president: That hes beholden to liberals who want to do away with law and order, and that hes a consummate Washington insider.
The campaign has begun a massive TV ad campaign going after the 77-year-old former vice president, including over his mental capacity and his nearly five-decade political career. Hoping to make inroads with African-American voters, Trump's campaign is running ads slamming Biden over his central role in the 1994 crime bill.
The commercials are airing in an array of states including Georgia, a traditionally red state where Trump suddenly finds himself in a fight. The cash-flush campaign is expected to remain on the TV airwaves in a host of key states through the election.

Americans are "concerned" about the pandemic and the economy and equality.
