Biden campaign ramps up staffing, focus on battleground states, sees a 'clear path' to 270 electoral

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign is significantly expanding its operation in preparation for the general election fight against President Trump, announcing Friday that a slate of high-level hires will be announced in the next ten days and that they will employ a team of over 600 staffers devoted to battleground states by the end of June.

Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon laid out the campaign’s growth in a presentation to reporters on Friday, expressing confidence that the former vice president is poised for a strong performance in November.

“We have a clear path to 270,” O’Malley Dillon said, referring to the number of electoral votes needed to win the White House.

“We are pulling ahead in Florida, in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, in Wisconsin and in Arizona. And if we kept these numbers, and we kept them through November, that'd put us at 318 electoral votes,” she argued, adding that the campaign is working to craft customizable messaging specific to key battleground states.

I’m encouraged that they are taking a tactical, state focused approach.
