Trump rally Orlando: Watch live stream as President Donald Trump kicks off his 2020 reelection campaign with a rally in Orlando, Florida – live updates – CBS News

Campaign chief Brad Parscale predicts “landslide” victory in 2020

Mr. Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale is predicting the president will win even more electoral votes than in 2016, saying he expects “an electoral landslide” while dismissing independent polling that shows the president trailing top Democrats.

Parscale made the comments in an interview with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett, hours ahead of Mr. Trump’s rally in Orlando.

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale predicts “electoral landslide”

“I think we win Florida, yeah,” Parscale told Garrett. “I think we win in an electoral landslide as of today.”

Asked to define an electoral landslide, Parscale responded, “I think even more electoral points than he did last time.” Mr. Trump won 306 electoral votes in 2016 (though two faithless electors declined to cast their votes for him, leaving him with 304 officially). A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win.
