Polls show Joe Biden running competitively in purple and red-leaning states, but his party remembers its losses in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin
WASHINGTON—In the final days before the election, Joe Biden holds significant advantages in polling and fundraising over President Trump along with myriad options for a party desperate not to repeat the mistakes of 2016 but also tantalized by a potential “blue wave.”
Mr. Biden’s campaign believes he is in a position to reclaim traditionally Democratic ground and expand the map, potentially running up the Electoral College score in purple and even red-leaning states. But four-year-old ghosts linger: Hillary Clinton’s campaign, facing a similar set of choices, spent time and money targeting a range of states and ended up losing Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan to Mr. Trump by fewer than 80,000 votes combined.
With that as a backdrop, Mr. Biden’s team said its priority is finding the most efficient path to amassing enough electoral votes to claim victory in an election that has been defined by the coronavirus pandemic. “At the end of the day, this is about 270” electoral votes, said John Anzalone, Mr. Biden’s pollster.
