“Democrats are carving inroads though the historically conservative city of Jacksonville, landing a handful of improbable political victories and framing a question for Election Day: Will Florida’s only Republican city fail Donald Trump? The president must win Florida to return to the White House, but Republicans’ loosened grip on Jacksonville, the party’s only urban foothold in the battleground state, is complicating that political math. And it’s given Joe Biden a shot of confidence even as state and local Republicans vow to defend what long has been considered their political home turf.”
“Jacksonville is ‘big and growing, it has an important media market, and has sort of been the tipping point over the past number of cycles,’ said Susie Wiles, the Trump campaign’s senior Florida adviser. ‘The campaign won’t take any part of the state for granted… Jacksonville will not be neglected’ said Wiles, who also led Trump’s 2016 Florida campaign” – Politico.
