In a significant political development, President Joe Biden's campaign has acknowledged that Florida is not a battleground state for the 2024 election. Jen O'Malley Dillon, Biden's campaign chair, confirmed that the campaign will focus on other states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. This marks a notable shift as Florida has historically been a crucial swing state in presidential elections. The GOP currently holds a nearly 1 million voter registration lead over Democrats in Florida. Both Team Trump and Team Biden agree that Florida will be governed by Republicans for a generation, with GOP primaries being decisive statewide. Dillon also expressed a bullish outlook on North Carolina.
