Tom Mountain, a former Massachusetts Republican Party vice chairman, sent an email to Trump campaign volunteers claiming that “the campaign has determined that New Hampshire is no longer a battleground state,” according to the Boston Globe. Mountain also advised the Trump campaign to invest its resources more heavily into nearby Pennsylvania as a winning strategy.
Mountain said Trump was “sure to lose by an even higher margin” in New Hampshire than he did in 2016 and 2020. Trump lost the state in 2016 by just 2,736 votes but lost by a far greater 59,277 votes in 2020.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania is seen as a must-win state for both Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump as it has the most electoral votes, 19, of all the swing states. In 2016, Trump flipped the state red for the first time since 1988, while in 2020, Biden turned the state blue once again by more than 80,000 votes.
