In a break from the past, @politico decided more than two years ago to assemble a team of political reporters with deep roots in key states and regions — Fla., Pa., the Midwest (Ill., Mich., Minn.), Calif., NC and New England. Why does this matter? 1/11 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/08/swing-states-2020-presidential-election-409000
The 2020 presidential election will be determined in the states. To cover it properly, @politico needed a stellar team in Washington AND deeply-sourced reporters in key states. These journalists live and report there. They have these places wired. 2/11 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/08/swing-states-2020-presidential-election-409000
So in service of that mission, today we are unveiling a reporting project that assesses the race in these states. Since this team often picks up on local trends before the rest of the national media, these dispatches are worth your time. 3/11 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/08/swing-states-2020-presidential-election-409000
