Swing-state Republicans warn Trump's reelection is on shaky ground

It didn’t happen overnight — Democrats have been making gains for years in Georgia,” said Republican State Leadership Committee President Austin Chambers, who has deep experience in Georgia politics and recently released a memo warning the party to take the state seriously.Chambers said he's confident Trump will ultimately prevail. In one sign of Trump's vulnerability in the state, Republican Senate candidate John James made clear during an online video conference with black community leaders last month that he disagreed with Trump on an array of issues.Democratic governors have been confronted with lawsuits over their stay-at-home orders.“Polling information is very concerning, just as it was in 2016” when Trump ultimately won Michigan, said Jase Bolger, a former state House speaker. State House Speaker Mike Turzai, however, argued the president’s populist approach would play well in industrial and manufacturing-heavy parts of the state and that voters would respond well to a message of economic recovery.He thinks Trump can reverse the suburban losses Republicans suffered in the 2018 midterms, but urged the president to stick to an uplifting pitch.“The president has to stay positive” in his economic message, Turzai said. Trump's political operation has also been making calls to battleground voters making the case that Biden is soft on the authoritarian country.Trump is also stepping up his public appearances, with trips to Arizona and Pennsylvania the past few weeks.“In our own data, President Trump is in solid shape in all our key states. “The concern is: Will he have coattails for the other offices, from Senate to governor and other important races?” said McCrory.Though Florida has drifted toward Republicans in recent statewide elections — Trump carried it in 2016, and the party won races for governor and Senate in 2018 — recent surveys have shown the president trailing in his newly adopted home state.Former Florida Sen. George LeMieux said it was smart for Trump to start defining Biden and not give him a pass.
