Now that the conventions are over, the two candidates have different tasks: For Biden it's exciting supporters, for Trump it's expanding his base.
WASHINGTON – Hours before Donald Trump formally accepted the Republican nomination in front of 1,500 supporters on the South Lawn of the White House, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden told Illinois trial lawyers at a virtual fundraiser that he's going to start campaigning in person again.
Now that the conventions are over, what must the two candidates do – or not do – to win on Nov. 3? For Biden it's exciting supporters, for Trump it's expanding his base. Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, said he doesn't think the former vice president has to worry about enthusiasm as much as other political prognosticators think.
And Category 4 Hurricane Laura slammed into Louisiana as wildfires in California continue to force mass evacuations, prompting more alarms about climate change. “For Trump to get to a win, he has to convince a lot of groups of voters that have basically decided he’s not a good president, starting with seniors, suburban women, non- college educated women, and African American voters," he said.
Trump targets suburbsTrump and the Republicans are targeting the suburbs as they try to expand their vote by warning how a Democratic win this November will bring unrest to all American's doorsteps. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., who was shot by a left-wing gunman during a congressional baseball practice in 2017, is among those promoting the president's narrative.
But if the president wanted to reach out to political moderates in the suburbs, his convention made that job tougher, said Terry Madonna, director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Biden walks COVID campaign tightropeBiden's appearance Monday in Pittsburgh was in keeping with his call for socially distant and medically cautious conduct during the pandemic.
"How the vice president is getting out there is something we all need to watch very closely," Audelo said.
