Trump does, but that's his only play. He narrowly won the last base election, 2016. 2020 was closer to a turnout election and we won it. Where? In the suburbs and rural areas, where Biden attracted enough disaffected moderates to win states Clinton lost. Hard to argue with the Harris strategy even if i would prefer a more hopeful closing argument.
