The Trump campaign confirmed to Fox News that it’s expanding operations in Virginia and Minnesota – two states that have voted reliably blue in recent presidential elections.

Former President Donald Trump is making a bold push into two states once written off as blue, opening a combined 19 field offices in Virginia and Minnesota with the 2024 presidential election less than five months away. The Trump campaign confirmed to Fox News that it is expanding operations in the two states that have voted reliably Democrat in recent presidential elections.

In its memo, the campaign noted that 'collateral materials will land in early July in both states, and we’ve already begun to generate Trump Force 47 Captain recruits to get them into training.' The Trump campaign, which views both Minnesota and Virginia as competitive in the upcoming election, aims to flip both states as it pushes to expand the 2024 electoral map.

Fox News poll conducted June 1 to 4 indicates the Democratic president and his Republican predecessor in the White House each with 48% support in a head-to-head match. A Republican hasn't carried Minnesota in a presidential election since President Richard Nixon's 1972 landslide re-election, over a half-century ago. It was the only state President Reagan lost in his 1984 re-election landslide.

The poll pointed to a significant enthusiasm gap, with 63% of Trump supporters saying they were 'very enthusiastic' about casting a ballot for their candidate, compared to 31% of voters backing the president.
