Democratic group to spend $100M targeting 2020 battlegrounds
By BRIAN SLODYSKO

WASHINGTON (AP) — A major Democratic group on Thursday announced plans to spend at least $100 million in battleground states during the 2020 election in hopes of denying President Donald Trump a second term.
Surveys conducted by Priorities USA suggest Trump is vulnerable in many of the same Rust Belt states that sealed his victory in 2016, such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, as well as Florida. Their research indicates antipathy toward Hillary Clinton drove some of the party’s traditional voters to Trump and third-party candidates like Jill Stein, while others simply did not turn out.
To win in 2020, Democrats say they must lure those voters back, get more people to cast ballots and hammer Trump with a consistent message that can withstand the daily uproars that have helped define his time in the White House.
Trump frequently takes credit for the overall good health of the economy. But Priorities operatives argue that the prosperity hasn’t trickled down to average Americans — which will be a major theme of their attacks.
