The June 4 memo, written by MAGA Inc. CEO Taylor Budowich,
detailed the super PAC's plans in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada
and Arizona - all states Trump lost in 2020 to U.S. President
Joe Biden, a Democrat, but where some polls show Trump leading
before the Nov. 5 election.
Budowich highlighted the swing state of Georgia in particular as
the "best gateway" for Trump to win the U.S. electoral college,
which allots electoral votes to the 50 states and the District
of Columbia largely based on their population.
The group said it would work to limit Biden's paths to victory
in the presidential election both geographically and
demographically.
The memo honed in on what it said was an increase in Trump's
approval rating among Black voters, Hispanic men voters and
white suburban women voters.
"This shift is not only statistically significant, but it also
presents an existential crisis for Team Biden," the memo said.
Biden is hemorrhaging support among voters without college
degrees - a large group that includes Black people, Hispanic
women, young voters and suburban women, Reuters/Ipsos polling
revealed earlier this month.
The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
MAGA Inc.'s May haul highlights Trump's renewed fundraising
strength after setting out with a financial disadvantage against
Biden.
Trump for the first time in April outraised his Democratic
rival, aided by a flurry of big-dollar fundraising events across
the country. Major Republican donors have also rallied behind
Trump following his conviction last week in a New York hush
money case, pledging millions of dollars to support the first
convicted felon to run for U.S. president.
Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee said on
Monday they had raised $141 million in May, nearly doubling the
prior month's haul.
