Rejecting public opinion polls that indicate Democratic challenger Joe Biden of President Trump, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale argues that the president “is dominating” the former vice president “when it comes to the most important factor, the enthusiasm”.
“The unprecedented enthusiasm behind the president’s reelection efforts contrasts sharply with the flat, almost non-existent enthusiasm for Biden,” Parscale said Thursday in an opinion piece in The Washington Post.

The alleged Democratic presidential candidate outperforms Trump by 9.4 percentage points on an average from the latest national polls compiled by Real Clear Politics. And, more importantly, Biden enjoys direct advantages or advantages with the president in key battlefield states where the race for the White House is likely to be won.
Parscale touted that “the President’s re-election war chest, which includes a record $ 131 million raised in June from thousands of donors at all levels, reflects the continued support, enthusiasm, and confidence that so many Americans have in President Trump and your schedule. “
But the Biden campaign outstripped the Trump team in the race for campaign cash by $ 10 million in June, the second month in a row that Biden and the Democratic National Committee combined outraged the president and the Republican National Committee.

Parscale also highlighted the campaign’s electoral participation machine, noting that “the president’s reelection effort has built the largest field program and data operation in the history of the Republican Party, including 1.3 million trained and activated volunteers. The campaign has already made more than 45 million voter contacts, and the efforts are getting stronger every day. “
And Parscale noted that Trump won an unprecedented number of votes for a incumbent in a largely uncontested nomination season, far exceeding the totals reached by President Barack Obama in the 2012 Democratic primaries and President George W. Bush in the primaries. 2004 Republican elections. While the Bush and Obama re-election campaigns did not emphasize primary voter turnout efforts on the calendar, the Trump campaign appeared in effect during the primaries, using them as evidence of voter turnout for the general election.
Trump’s campaign manager also argued that even though the president is the head of the White House, he is running as the stranger during his reelection bid.
“When your opponent has been a career politician in Washington for 47 years and is campaigning to return to the old status quo, it is clear who the insider is and who is still the politician,” Parscale wrote. “Biden, like Hillary Clinton in 2016, is a career policy that has been a central part of the Washington political system that voters opposed in 2016 and are doing it again.”
But although Biden once emphasized a return to normalcy, his campaign has spun in recent months as the coronavirus pandemic and national protests over racial inequality swept across the nation.
WHO IS BRAD PARSCALE?
Parscale’s op-ed is the second time in less than a week that the Trump campaign touts the president’s enthusiasm edge over Biden.
The campaign made the same argument in a memorandum released Sunday that also charged that “the public voting methodology is cheaper and flawed.” However, the campaign referred to those same public opinion polls to highlight the advantage of the President’s enthusiasm over Biden.
