Biden plays on expanded map as Trump tends to base

It's either brilliant or delusional -- a sign of changing realities or political hubris. There's no way to know which for at least another eight days.

Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign is seeing an expanding map and looking to play all over it during the final stretch of the race.

Biden will spend Tuesday in Georgia, with Sen. Kamala Harris expected in Texas this week and former President Barack Obama being deployed again to Florida. Democrats are playing in a battleground map of 17 states -- when all they needs to do is flip the right three.

Those key three are where President Donald Trump is spending his Monday and Tuesday, with a crush of rallies that both defy social-distance guidelines and remain the kind of events that only he could pull together.

Bullshit. Obama or Biden could absolutely pull a monster rally—but since they don’t want to murder people with unchecked COVID, they responsibly choose not to.

Especially in the Rust belt, otherwise they wouldn’t be spending time in these truly “toss up” states.

I don’t think Biden and team are being overconfident, they are seeking to run up the EV score wherever they see a chance.

If either Joe or Kamala visit MT or AK, I’m doubling my stock of champagne...
