Following reports that the Trump campaign is struggling to gain a foothold in the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, Fox News contributor Karl Rove said he believes the Trump campaign is treading carefully in the crucial voting states for the 2020 presidential election. The Rust Belt states, where President Trump won by a very slim margin in 2016, will be paramount for his reelection efforts next year. "We've seen some evidence in the public polling, but my sense is that trump campaign feels very, very cautious about their chances in those three states," Rove told the "America's Newsroom" hosts on Tuesday. Should former Vice President Joe Biden secure the Democratic nomination, it's possible that he could find popularity in the Rust Belt states, especially considering he was born in Pennsylvania. According to a recent report by Politico, the general consensus among the Trump 2020 campaign is that Biden will fall in popularity once the "honeymoon" stage of his campaign is over.
