Trump-Biden Debate Creates New Swing States. What’s Next?

The Washington Stand reported that traditionally Democrat states may now become swing states as a result of the debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. And this may be even more true following Saturday’s attempted assassination against Trump.

“While presidential elections often produce a silly season of speculation about unlikely states flipping allegiances, seasoned Democratic operatives say there are legitimate concerns, even as the Biden campaign points to its overwhelming advantage in offices, staff and money across those states,” the outlet quoted the New York Times, adding that former Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod believes Trump could win once-comfortably blue states, a threat that “has to be taken seriously.” (LEARN MORE: State Finds County Violated Election Law In 2022)

Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Virginia, which Biden won in 2020, are now potential battleground states for both parties.

What Happened?

“The debate really woke people up. It scared them,” New Hampshire Democratic State Rep. Peter Leishman told the New York Times. “There was already a feeling from so many people here that maybe Biden was a little too old, even back in the primary.”

“Biden can win New Mexico, but all of the data I’m seeing shows that his campaign needs to make their case to New Mexicans to ensure that happens,” New Mexico Sen. Martin Heinrich’s campaign manager Brad Elkins said. “Interviews with a dozen Democratic and independent voters in Albuquerque, a solidly blue city, showed a snapshot of the enthusiasm problem facing Mr. Biden,” added NYT. “Most said they were rooting for a change at the top of the Democratic ticket, planned to vote for a third-party candidate[,] or said they might simply stay home in November.”
