Trump no longer thinks New Hampshire is winnable leaked campaign emails show

[StmarysCity79]

The Trump campaign “no longer thinks New Hampshire is winnable” and is “pulling back” from the crucial swing state, according to a bombshell leaked email from a top campaign volunteer.

Tom Mountain, a former Republican party vice chair in Massachusetts, sent an email to volunteers claiming that “the campaign has determined that New Hampshire is no longer a battleground state,” The Boston Globe reported.


In the email, obtained by the Globe, Mountain advised supporters to turn their attention to Pennsylvania instead, as Trump was “sure to lose by an even higher margin” in New Hampshire than he did in 2016 and 2020.


Mountain claimed the campaign has been forced to “shift strategy” after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala Harris replaced him at the top of the ticket.

“So for those who were active in the NH ground campaign in 2016 and 2020, and expected to do the same after Labor Day, the simple question is… what are we to do? GO TO PENNSYLVANIA,” he reportedly wrote.

Critical swing state? New Hampshire has voted for the democrat in every election since George H. W. Bush in 1988. Trump won without it in 2016. George W. Bush won twice without it. The state is only worth 3 electoral votes. They shouldn't be worrying about it at all. I don't know who ever considered it a battleground state to begin with. 8 consecutive election cycles backing the democrat candidate is pretty clear to me.

This election comes down to 5 states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada. Trump should be concentrating on Pennsylvania, NC, and Arizona. If he wins those three states he wins. Even giving Harris Wisconsin and Michigan, she needs to pick off one of those three states. Trump could actually lose one of either NC or Georgia and still win with 271 if he gets Nevada, Arizona, and PA. PA should be the focal point. Can't see a path for Trump if he loses PA. If he wins PA, there are multiple paths.
