To beat Trump, the Biden campaign aims to use the tactics that ousted controversial sheriff Joe Arpaio in the state's largest county in 2016.
With Joe Biden looking to expand the electoral map and shock the country by turning Arizona blue for the first time since 1996, his presidential campaign hopes to use the playbook that beat controversial sheriff Joe Arpaio in the state's largest county in 2016.
Dillon detailed that pathway during a National Finance Committee retreat in mid-May that featured the campaign's top 200 contribution bundlers through Zoom videoconferences.
"The Arpaio-Penzone race is a symptom of the larger trend we have been seeing in Arizona and nationwide, of the suburbs moving away from being as reliably Republican as they have been in the past," the pollsters wrote in an email. They added that the trend appeared in many Trump precincts that Penzone ended up winning in 2016; in these northeast Phoenix suburbs, Sinema was victorious two years later.
While reaching Latinos during a pandemic may be difficult in some states, Democrats said that in Arizona a permanent early-voter list provides a blueprint for identifying voters to contact before the election. Humorously, the Biden campaign is also keyed in on yoga, using it as an organizing tool because one"super volunteer" is a yoga instructor who uses Zoom to do yoga events for the campaign.
"The bottom fell out on immigration," OH Predictive Insights pollster Jacob Joss said of a separate May poll from his firm that showed immigration is not among the top three issues for Arizonans for the first time since the company began asking the question, in February 2019.With the issue dropping as a concern for voters amid an unprecedented health crisis, the immigration rhetoric and hard-line views that have been a go-to for both Trump and Arpaio may hold less sway.
