Following his State of the Union speech, Biden and his campaign are launching a media blitz against Trump and Republicans. In addition to the $30 million ad buy, Biden and Kamala Harris are set to visit all battleground states.
Due to not having to compete in a primary, Biden has been able to husband his resources until the GOP primary was over. Now, the Biden campaign is recruiting staff in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and other swing states to build a ground game for November. Politico says:
Coming off of the president’s forceful State of the Union, senior Biden campaign officials on Friday rolled out a $30 million ad buy and new campaign travel stops. The announcements were designed to drive home the aggressive posture Biden is adopting as the general election contest with former President Donald Trump begins.
In what it has dubbed a “Month of Action,” the Biden campaign announced that the president, Vice President Kamala Harris, first lady Jill Biden and second gentlemen Doug Emhoff will stump in every battleground state in March, kicking off with Biden’s events in Pennsylvania and Georgia on Friday and Saturday. Biden will also appear in New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Michigan next week, while Harris will head to Arizona and Nevada. The campaign is also hiring 350 new staffers and opening 100 campaign offices across swing states over the next month.
Despite being one of the most partisan and hateful speeches, Joe Biden was surprised by Fox News’s reaction to his speech. Biden was also expressing shock at the hatred that large parts of the country has for him, using colorful language to express their disapproval. The NY Post continues:
President Biden said Friday that he had stayed up until at least 2 a.m. watching Fox News analysis of his State of the Union speech to Congress — before saying he was disappointed seeing vulgar protest signs and children making obscene gestures at him when he travels.
“Did you ever think — those of you who are over 40 — did you ever think we’d be in a situation where we talk to each other like the way we talk these days?” Biden asked, “where you ride down the street and there’s a Trump banner with a ‘F— You’ on it and a 6-year-old kid putting up his middle finger?”
Republicans will have to renew their attack angles against the Biden Administration, as the media is fully behind him. Upending the news cycle will all depend on major news that the mainstream media won’t be able to hide.
