He emphasized the need to focus on key issues that resonate with voters in battleground states and to present a clear contrast between Biden's positive vision and Trump's agenda.
The memo underscored the campaign's belief in the viability of Biden as the Democratic nominee and urged supporters to rally behind him. It also acknowledged the competitive nature of the race and the need for a strategic approach to secure a successful outcome.
In conclusion, the memo called for a unified effort to support Biden's candidacy and to capitalize on the opportunities for victory in the upcoming election. It emphasized the importance of listening to voters and offering a compelling choice between Biden's platform and Trump's policies.
