Biden says he will beat Trump in Texas, Georgia and South Carolina

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that he’s committed to campaigning in the deep south and that if he’s the Democratic nominee he will defeat President Trump in Texas, Georgia and South Carolina, among other traditionally red states.

Speaking Monday at the Poor People’s Moral Action Congress at Trinity Washington University, a predominantly black and Hispanic school on the northeast side of the city, Biden was asked if he would fight to win the support from poor whites, blacks and Latinos in the South.

“I plan on campaigning in the South,” Biden said. “If I’m your nominee I’m winning Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, believe it or not, and I believe we can win Texas and Florida. Look at the polling there now … I have no intention of walking away.”

Democrats are bullish on their prospects in Texas after former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) nearly won Sen. Ted Cruz's (R) seat in 2018. New polls show Biden running neck and neck with Trump there.
