Former President Donald Trump is returning to the Jersey Shore for a rally of all rallies. They are expecting huge numbers to show up.
“We have a tremendous rally and hope you’re all going to be there. It’s in Wildwood, New Jersey. It’s going to be a big crowd,” the former president promised on the eve of his Saturday rally.
Wildwood is part of the Garden State’s Cape May County, which is largely Republican in a traditionally blue state.
In 2020, Trump held a rally in Wildwood. In the end, Joe Biden defeated the then-president, taking New Jersey by 16 points. Then again, 2020 was an outlier election, as we all know.
For Trump, the weekend rally is a short drive from New York City, where he spends his weekdays in court, making history as the first past or current president to face criminal charges. It’s also the first time communist prosecutors have attacked a president with a sympathetic judge.
“We’re going to try and win the state of New Jersey. I want the people to know that I love it,” Trump said in a local radio broadcast in New Jersey on Friday. “You know, it’s not just going to be like, gee, maybe we can get close. We’re going to win it.”

New Jersey voters are experiencing the same troubles that the rest of America is facing, thanks to the failed policies of the Biden administration.
And Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler stated, “Trump’s team is talking about New Jersey. They’re talking about holding concerts in Madison Square Garden to turn out voters in states like New York. I think here on planet Earth, in the Biden campaign, we’re going to remain laser focused on winning 270 electoral votes.” Good luck with that. Current polling suggests a Trump landslide victory in November.
As the Trump and Biden campaigns prepare to battle in seven critical swing states that decided the 2020 election (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which Biden narrowly won, and North Carolina, which Trump carried by a razor-thin margin) and will most likely do so again in the 2024 rematch, both see opportunities to broaden the map.
Unfortunately for the Democrats, I don’t think Joe Biden would understand the last paragraph if he read it.
Last weekend, at a closed-door National Republican Committee retreat for high end donors at a resort in Palm Beach, Florida, senior Trump campaign advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, as well as veteran pollster Tony Fabrizio, highlighted internal surveys that suggested both “Minnesota & Virginia are clearly in play.”
“In both states, Donald Trump finds himself in positions to flip key electoral votes in his favor,” according to the survey, which was shared with Fox News.
I would really like to know what the GOP is doing about controlling the cheating that we all know the Democrats are going to do. They cheated their asses off in 2020, that is without question, and so I think they should be talking about how they are preparing to monitor those key battleground states for Democrats trying to steal them. The Democratic Party knows it is in trouble this time around, and so far, we know that they will do anything to win.
Trump will travel to Minnesota next weekend to visit a state GOP fundraiser dinner.
Furthermore, both states include substantial populations of rural white voters without college degrees who overwhelmingly support the former president.
The Biden campaign disagrees that Minnesota or Virginia are up for grabs. That’s because they are delusional. Nobody likes having to pay more for everything, and most voters are aware that it’s because Joe Biden is an incompetent president who has caused all of the country’s economic problems.
While noting that they are “not taking any state or any vote for granted,” Biden campaign battleground states director Dan Kanninen told reporters earlier this week that “we don’t see polls that are six or seven months out from a general election, head-to-head numbers certainly, as any more predictive than a weather report is six or seven months out.”
Kanninen said that the campaign has personnel on the ground in both states, engaging voters. If they are anything like New Yorkers who are turning to Trump, then they can engage as many as they like, but it’s not going to make a difference.
“We feel strongly the Biden-Harris coalition in both Minnesota and Virginia, which has been strong in the midterms and off-year elections, will continue to be strong for us in the fall of 2024,” he stated.
And Biden campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt, citing the president’s current fundraising dominance and ground-game advantage in key battlegrounds, argued that “Trump’s team has so little campaign or infrastructure to speak of, they’re resorting to leaking memos that say ‘the polls we paid for show us winning.'”
Speaking of polls being paid for, the New York Post reported that the Biden campaign has mass hired veteran pollsters after a survey showed Trump up in swing states.
From the New York Post:
If you don’t like the answers, change who asks the questions.
President Biden’s campaign has brought in a bevy of pollsters to assist his re-election effort, according to a report published one day after a Wall Street Journal survey revealed the Democratic incumbent was trailing former President Donald Trump in six competitive swing states.
The Biden campaign’s eight new hires included a mix of pollsters who previously worked for the president’s 2020 campaign and others who helped Democrats’ better-than-expected performance in the 2022 midterm vote, Politico reported.
So, they hired pollsters who worked for Biden’s 2020 campaign. Translation: They hired biased pollsters to make it appear that Biden is ahead. They have to do that in order to explain the effects of cheating.
While Trump’s campaign seeks opportunities to broaden the map in Minnesota and Virginia, Biden’s campaign appears to be targeting swing states North Carolina and Florida.
Florida is a solid red state. The Democratic donors haven’t thrown money there since Ton DeSantis won reelection in 2018.
In 2020, Trump won Florida by fewer than four points, but two years earlier, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and GOP Sen. Marco Rubio were both re-elected by roughly 20 points.
