Push for Joe Biden,
former mayor MIKE Bloomberg, is
shelling out: fifteen million bucks on
tv ads in the states of Texas
and Ohio in an effort to put
pressure on President Trump in
states. He won back in twenty sixteen
this as the former VP campaigns
in Georgia, while Senator Kamala
Harris is veto visit the Lone
STAR State, where a new poll puts
Biden in a slight lead,
but do these states have a real
chance of turning into the Biden
column
lets discuss with the Polster
and Fox NEWS contributor, Kristen,
Soltis, Anderson
Kristin Good Morning to you
good morning.
What do you make of Bloomberg?
Putting fifteen dollars million into Texas
and Ohio
thats a head scratcher?
It is
well Texas, is a state that I
think Democrats have had their
eyes on for over a decade.
It would be a huge prize for
them
and, as a result,
have you got a lot of
Democrats that if they feel
confident, perhaps overconfident
about their chances of winning
the election, they may be trying
to run up the score. At this
point,
Texas? Is a state also where
there are a number of races
further down the ballot,
especially for house of
Representatives where Democrats
would love to expand Nancy
Pelosis Majority? If they can,
I think, thats why Texas is on
MIKE Bloombergs radar
Steve? You could be right.
It was a couple days ago that
Joe Biden improvised essentially
his upcoming travel itinerary.
He said he was going to go to
Iowa and to Georgia,
and he was in Georgia yesterday,
but to a lot of risks. Averse
Democrats, they are going wait a
minute. Is this going to be
Hillary Clinton, two thousand and sixteen all over
again
Joe Biden needs to park himself
in Pennsylvania and in Florida
and dont go to those other places.
Otherwise, if he winds up losing
losing,
he should be spending every
minute and every dollar in some
of those states that Donald
Trump flipped from glow red four
years ago,
every minute he spends somewhere
else is them trying to run up
the score in a way that feels
strategically risky.
Now Georgia also falls into
that same column of Texas, where
the state Democrats have had
their eyes on many years.
I think emotionally they would
love to be able to sort of steal.
That prize from Republicans.
You also got races further down
the ballot, but Texas and Georgia
are also the kinds of places
that have spawned big national
democratic stars.
Even though Stacey Abrams and
Beto Orourke Lois those states
statewide
big leaders in their party.
I understand emotionally why
Democrats want to win there
strategically any minute they
are spending or any dollar they
are spending on t those states. I
not a dollar theyre spending,
really Suring up, really solid
wins in this race.
Steve got to figure that Biden
team is sitting, internal polling
shows them. They are up by a
certain amount and thats why
thee feel comfortable
at the same time. You know this.
The x factor in this whole race
is the so called shy. Trump
voter
polster asks you are did youing
to vote for Donald Trump or Joe
Biden.
You would be more likely to say
Joe Biden over Donald Trump
because of all the baggage that
comes to the person who feels
the polster is asking. Oh, how
could this guy be supporting
Donald Trump blah blah blah?
All that stuff,
that really is the unknown in
this at this point,
how big that number is
to me, the big unknown, is
actually the sky high turnout.
If im trying to think of what
the case is for why the Biden
team is looking at states like
Georgia and Texas,
it is the sky high turnout.
These are states where you
already have seventy percent.
Eighty percent of the ballots cast that
were cast in twenty sixteen and we still
have a week to go
with sky high turnout. Anything
is possible
that doesnt necessarily mean
that Biden has got this in the
bag.
Steve all right
lets see what happens.
