Trump Shrinks His Campaign As More States Grow Out Of Reach

Donald Trump’s campaign has made some dramatic changes in the past month, and one of those changes is that they have scaled back their operations in certain states that they no longer believe they can win. When Biden was still the nominee, Trump thought he could pull out victories in states like New Hampshire and Minnesota, but those dreams are now gone with Vice President Harris as the Democratic nominee. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Donald Trump right now is running the ever shrinking campaign. And what that means, of course, is that Donald Trump is now abandoning states that just a few months ago, they were actually devoting time to states like Minnesota, New Hampshire, Virginia, Arizona. They thought for sure Trump had a chance in those states when he was running against President Biden. But now that Harris has come along, the Trump campaign has decided to, uh, you know, kinda stop thinking about those other states. Uh, it, it wasn't Arizona, by the way. It was New Jersey. Uh, so I don't know why I said Arizona, but they're not really doing anything in New Jersey. They're pretty much done with New Hampshire as his own staffers admitted they're not doing anything in Minnesota. And by the way, with Tim Walls on the ticket, that would be a moot point at this point. So instead, they're focusing their efforts on these seven swing states that they believe will determine the outcome of the election.

And based on every poll, those seven swing states will determine the outcome of this election. Here it is. The seven states, of course, are Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. All of Trump's rallies and Vance's public appearances since the end of July have come in Those seven mis we Midwest and Sunbelt Battlegrounds Trump's plans over the next two days, follow that pattern and event with police Friday in North Carolina, where the first ballots have been scheduled to start going out that day and a rally in the middle of Wisconsin Saturday. So of course, that report was from a, uh, uh, last week. But the point is, Trump is only focusing on those states. He is giving up everywhere else and shrinking his campaign. But this isn't about Donald Trump's campaign doing so poorly in states that two months ago they thought they were gonna win.

It's not, believe it or not, this is actually a story about how stupid the electoral college is, because that's what this is about. That's why those seven battlegrounds are seven battlegrounds. If we didn't have an electoral college in this country, a vote in Minnesota would be the same as a vote in New York, which would be the same as a vote in Florida, which would be the same as a vote in Wyoming. All of those votes would matter. There would be no more flyover states, because sure, you may not win all the electoral college votes in Florida, but you could still win, you know, 10 million votes from Florida to count towards your total. But because of the way the electoral college is, Trump's campaign is like, all right, we're, we're just not gonna go to Michigan, or not Michigan, excuse me, Minnesota. We're not gonna go to New Jersey. There's millions of people in those states. There's millions of Republicans in those states that are now going to be ignored by the campaign because the

Electoral college says you don't matter. And you Republicans, you should be mad about that. And believe it or not, there are Democrats in the state of Wyoming, but the Democrats aren't gonna go do rallies in Wyoming and fight for your three electoral college votes. Who cares about that? Right? So the Democrats are telling you, you don't matter because the electoral college tells you you don't matter. So no, this was not a story about Donald Trump's campaign shrinking its operations to focus on swing states. This is a story about why the electoral college is idiotic and it disenfranchises millions of people just because the rest of your state, or you know, 51% of your state may vote for the other party, which means your vote doesn't matter. I'm in Florida. Florida has become a red state. Now there's rumors.
