New swings? The states both sides are targeting

Both parties are already zeroing in on non-obvious battlegrounds they hope to flip, Axios' Alayna Treene reports.

The Trump campaign has its sights set on four states the president lost in 2016: Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico.
--"We are trying to actively expand the map — aggressively," one official said. "These four states in particular are all areas [Trump campaign manager Brad] Parscale is set on winning."
-- The official added that the campaign, which is planning to beef up its communications and rapid response team with additional hires before the end of the year, will soon be flooding these states with stories that don’t get a lot of attention at the national level — such as Trump's work on opioids and the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal.

Dems hope to pick up Florida, North Carolina, Arizona, Texas and Georgia, campaign aides and Democratic strategists say.
-- "The midterms were a strong indicator of the Dem energy in these states, particularly in Arizona, Florida and Texas, and set the groundwork for us to flip them," one Democratic strategist said.
-- A Trump campaign adviser conceded that Arizona, in particular, will be tough for Trump to hold onto.

3. ok, I agree as,

I re-read your post,, I saw and will rephrase my question as I read it wrong before first reply. So do you think that everyone will be watching the states they "stole" last election and these are the ones to offset? I guess my point is the same, you just clarified for me with the "offset". Thanks
