David Plouffe: If Biden Can Do Better with Republicans, It Could Mitigate the Little Leakage from Young Voters

RUSH EXCERPT:

PLOUFFE: “This can seem nerdy and boring but politics is about candidates and messaging but it is about math. A good candidate knows how many votes they need to win a state and where those votes will come from. If the Biden campaign would overestimate the number of votes they need, that would be a mistake but I don’t think they will. Most of the Haley voters will come home to Trump. But you have a pool of voters, very sophisticated data and research, you can understand who can understand who is coming home no matter who they voted in the primary and who is open, either to not voting as esper fumbled around about but ultimately voting for Biden. You have to look at it as how do you get to a win number in the battleground states. It’s a small piece of the pie but an important piece of the pie particularly when Biden will have all of the challenges in the world of maximizing his share of turnout with young people. In a way if he can do slightly better with Republicans than he did in 2020, it may mitigate a little leakage with young voters.”
