2020 presidential hopeful Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris realize that they cannot run their campaign remotely as the race tightens, Trump 2020 campaign senior strategy adviser Steve Cortes said on Monday.
“It’s fascinating that Joe Biden has decided to come above ground to get out of his basement and start traveling,” Cortes told “America’s Newsroom.”
Cortes cited the RealClearPolitics Average data that shows Biden’s lead over President Trump has narrowed as Election Day gets closer.
“I think the first question that should be asked of him is what changed because he told us for months that he couldn’t travel because of the quote ‘science.’ Well, nothing has changed lately in the science, but, perhaps, the political science has changed, and by that I mean that this race is tightening dramatically,” Cortes said.
“Biden’s lead has been cut in half,” Cortes said.
According to a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday, Biden tops Trump 50-43% among registered voters nationwide. The former vice president‘s seven-point advantage is down from a 12-point lead he held in the previous USA TODAY/Suffolk University survey, which was conducted in June. The new poll was conducted Aug. 28-31, entirely after the GOP convention.
