As Donald Trump builds out a presidential-campaign-in-waiting, his team is focusing on an electoral strategy that relies on recapturing the five states that flipped to Joe Biden in 2020.
The five states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin delivered a total of 73 electoral votes in 2020, enough to produce a decisive Electoral College victory for Biden. Since then, Trump has held four rallies, endorsed dozens of candidates and played a key role in shaping contests that could put his allies in top offices in those states in 2024.
Trumps shadow campaign also recently polled Trump-Biden matchups in the five states, all of which were decided in 2020 by fewer than 3 percentage points. According to the poll, a memo of which was obtained by POLITICO, the former president led Biden in Arizona by 8 percentage points, Georgia by 3 points, Michigan by 12 points, Pennsylvania by 6 points and Wisconsin by 10 points.
The poll numbers send a message to those who think Trumps grip on the Republican Party is loosening, said Tony Fabrizio, a top GOP pollster who conducted the surveys for Trumps super PAC, Make America Great Again, Again!
Trump's influence keeps haunting Washington, explained
Poll after poll clearly demonstrates that former President Donald Trump is still the 800-pound gorilla in the GOP and would be its 2024 nominee should he run, said Fabrizio, who confirmed the numbers for POLITICO but did not provide them. This new data clearly shows that today the voters in these five key states would be happy to return Trump to the White House and send Biden packing.
In another sign that Trump is gearing up for a White House bid, his super PAC is holding its biggest planned fundraiser to date on Dec. 2, when the nations top Republican donors are expected to gather at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla......................................

(4,175 posts)If the John Lewis Voting Rights bills gets in, a LOT of these States shenanigans will disappear. Also, tRump doesn't have nearly the power he once held. This poll is way too early, we have to put our interests into saving the House and Senate in 2022, not so 'maybe...maybe not' scenario by that orange clown. Hell, he could be jailed or dead by 2024. Either way, relax. Do what you can locally, do what you can for Dem candidates, write and call your reps. We cannot control the rampant stupidity of the MAGAt gun totin' moran group, but we CAN see that he weilds no power in the next 3 years.

Health or indictments will be quite an impediment. I don't think there will be acquittals because 1) our swift justice system is lagging again, and 2) we won't move fast enough to risk that opening. As for what the Jan 6 Committee has planned or puts out, who knows, that is an unknown factor and will be for awhile.

Georgia* has him on tape trying to get 11,780 votes to overturn the election there, I would bet
that the House's Jan 6th committee and the DoJ will go after him on 1-6-21, he is bleeding cash
from his businesses, Scotland is going to take his golf courses, and he is over 1 billion in debt
to Russia/Putin/Russian mob, Saudi Arabia, and China.
His mental health is failing, he is a heart attack on the hoof, and he is trying to or he has sold
his D.C. Hotel which was his "grift central."
The only reason Trump wanted to stay in office was to avoid the tons of civil and or criminal
penalties that he knew are coming his way.

* Georgia also has him on tape telling a woman who was Georgia's Sec. of State's lawyer to
"just say there are doubts about the election because big things are going to happen on Jan. 6th.

(19,201 posts)If Trump's "shadow campaign" has him polling so strongly I can see any reason for voting. Guess I'll just stay home in 2024.
And because someone will actually need this......

(269 posts)Are we not still about 3 years away from a presidential election in this country? Is there not much on our plate as a country between now and then, let alone TFGs legal issues? Why are we polling this shit now, let alone worried about it becoming a reality? Much will still happen between now and then. Focus on the mid-terms people!
