CNN: “The Biden campaign is devoting significant resources to winning over more senior citizens in Florida who might have backed the Republican nominee in the past but have been turned off by Trump’s handling of the pandemic as well as his inflammatory rhetoric. So far, Biden’s campaign has spent over $40 million on ads in the state, with several directly targeting older voters on the pandemic and Social Security. And it also hosts a variety of senior-targeted outreach events, like workshops teaching supporters how to write letters to the editor. Most recently, it hired a staff member devoted solely to senior outreach and organizing senior members of the community to vote. That effort appears to be paying off.”

“While Trump won Florida in 2016 with a double-digit lead over Hillary Clinton among voters age 65 or older, the latest polling suggests Trump’s advantage with the group is gone, and at best for the President, Trump and Biden are close among Florida’s seniors. As Biden visits Florida Tuesday, he will land in a state where his campaign continues to underperform with Latinos compared to Hillary Clinton in 2016, which could make the senior citizen vote even more crucial to victory in a state that has been decided by less than two percentage points in the past two presidential elections. ‘I think generally the Biden campaign is in better shape to win Florida than we were at this point either in ’08 or ’12,’ said Florida Democratic strategist Steve Schale, who worked on Barack Obama’s campaign in the state during both election cycles. He also helps lead the pro-Biden PAC, Unite the Country. ‘I mean, obviously it has a long ways to go and in no way am I saying that it’s anything but competitive, but I feel pretty good about things.'”
