Biden campaign chair: Florida not a battleground state

President Biden’s reelection campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon ruled out Florida as a battleground state in an interview published on Monday.

O’Malley Dillon told Puck News’s John Heilemann that she viewed North Carolina as a battleground state. But when asked the same about Florida, she said “No.”

Her comments come after Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison said the Sunshine State was in play.

“That’s why I’m here now,” Harrison told ABC Action News in Tampa last week. “We’re opening offices. I feel good about the direction that we’re going.”
