Biden can win White House without Florida, Pennsylvania: Campaign manager

November 04, 2020 06:26

Florida is a big prize and it's fiercely contested. It carries 29 electoral votes - a significant chunk of the 270 needed to win - and polls suggest a very tight race.

US Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's campaign manager on Tuesday stated that the former Vice President can defeat President Donald Trump and win the White House without carrying two crucial battlegrounds, Florida and Pennsylvania.

Jen O'Malley Dillon, Biden's campaign manager informed on Tuesday that the former VP was leading by eight points coming into Election Day in the key battleground states thanks to the surge in voting ahead of the election, reported Fox News.

Dillon emphasised the enthusiasm in early voting, which she said is continuing today in voting so far. She also claimed that allowed the campaign to continue to have these multiple paths to victory to the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the White House.

"Trump has such a harder hill to climb today to overcome the advantage we came in with," Dillon was quoted as saying by Fox News.

Roughly 100 million Americans casted ballots through early in-person voting, absentee and mail in balloting, which is nearly three-quarters of all votes cast in the 2016 election.
