Inside Biden's push to squeeze Trump in red counties

[RandySF]

President Biden's campaign is investing in dozens of field offices in some of the nation's reddest counties, pressing its early money advantage to establish political beachheads in hostile territory.

Why it matters: Biden's team isn't under the illusion it can win these rural counties Donald Trump won in 2020. It's fighting to cut into Republicans' margins — particularly in swing states such as Wisconsin.

The goal is to establish a ground presence early in the election cycle and keep rural Biden supporters motivated — while letting voters dismayed by Trump or curious about Biden know they're not be alone.

Zoom in: Biden's campaign has opened more than 150 offices and hired more than 400 staffers in the seven battleground states and will have 200 offices and 500 staffers there by the end of May, the campaign says.

1. Ha ha.

I love reading this story right after the one about state parties going rogue & backing crazy candidates over traditional repub candidates.

2. I feel that in some of those red counties magaloons might try to do damage to the building where these offices are.

His supporters are deranged and I hope no one gets hurt.
