The incumbent enjoys tremendous advantages of his own in the race, including strong fundraising and digital campaigning. Trump's own team has been working for months on plans to make a similar push in states where Democrats are seen to have an advantage, such as Minnesota. Presidential candidates must win at least 270 votes from states in the US Electoral College system to secure victory. O'Malley Dillon's strategy includes protecting states Democrats won in 2016 and winning swing states that went to Trump in 2016, including Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida.Even a handful of those states could lend the campaign a decisive victory and polling numbers in several such states show Biden ahead currently.
But the Biden campaign sees the electorate as different than prior to 2018's congressional elections, which pushed Democrats to a majority in the House.
