Trump campaign manager ⁦ @BillStepien⁩ going thru a slide show with reporters, says the campaign has 60 staffers in Nevada, 30 staffers in New Hampshire & 20 staffers in Maine.
Trump campaign lists all the polls it believes is *undersampling* Republican turnout >>
“There’s a reason why the leading Democratic super PAC took a pass on Ohio,” says @BillStepien
. @BillStepien says there are 117,000 fewer Democrats in Pennsylvania today than there were in 2016.
In 2016, there were 31 state polls in North Carolina and Trump led in just 3, per @BillStepien continuing to relitigage how wrong we all were about last time.

That’s essentially become the Trump political argument: You’re still wrong.
Had to stop live-tweeting because I inadvertently broke the campaign’s embargo until the call ended & was scolded.

The campaign said the images of the slides were not usable only the information — so pretend you never saw them.
Two final points from @BillStepien: He said he has data showing Biden “currently underperforming @AndrewGillum, if you can believe it” in Florida.

“We’ve got some polling that we like,” he said, noting the campaign just completed 10 MILLION volunteer calls
And finally @BillStepien invited the Biden campaign to contest TEXAS, towel-snapping that he’d pay for their 1st ad. (They’ve already paid for an ad)

“Spend a lot of money in the Houston market,” he said.
Overall, what the call revealed is the Trunp campaign believes 2020 is a mirror of 2016...and that not much has changed in regards to flawed poll methodology or Trump’s coalition.

Of course the biggest difference is Trump now has a record as POTUS + that Biden is not Hillary.
