Florida has a nearly million-Republican hurdle that Biden cannot overcome

According to the latest slew of swing state polling from the Wall Street Journal, President Joe Biden isn’t even on par to win Pennsylvania or Michigan — crucial states he won in 2020 and cannot win the Electoral College in 2024 without — let alone accrue new purple state pickups. That hasn’t stopped his campaign from publicly broadcasting its delusion that the most unpopular president in modern American history can win the electoral behemoth of Florida.

“Make no mistake: Florida is not an easy state to win, but it is a winnable one for President Biden, especially given Trump’s weak, cash-strapped campaign, and serious vulnerabilities within his coalition,” the Biden campaign wrote in a memo, citing a six-week abortion ban which will effectively be on the ballot after a recent state Supreme Court decision.
