NEW: It’s not just Iowa and Ohio. Trump also has scaled back TV ads significantly in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota — signaling a retreat from the Midwest. buzzfeednews.com/article/henryg…
Besides being dark in IA and OH, Trump campaign has canceled $2 million in ad reservations in both MI and WI since early September. And in MN, Trump has chopped about $5 million from the TV budget. buzzfeednews.com/article/henryg…
All of this shows the cash crunch Trump is in. Meanwhile, Biden is making his most aggressive play in Ohio yet. buzzfeednews.com/article/henryg…
“I think Ohio is kind of the head and neck of the Midwest. ... If I see Trump winning Ohio by 6 to 8 points, then I think it means he’s winning nationally. Obviously if he loses Ohio, it’s Bad News Bears all around.” buzzfeednews.com/article/henryg…
I talked with @SherrodBrown, who's been pushing Biden for more Ohio investment. He told me how a modest summer buy in Toledo in Youngstown helped encourage Biden's team to go bigger. buzzfeednews.com/article/henryg…
Trump take, via @kadiagoba: "If overspending on TV...determined outcome of elections, Hillary Clinton would be president, but it’s cute Joe Biden and his campaign think buying...in these states makes up for years of Dems viewing them as flyover country." buzzfeednews.com/article/henryg…

Biden campaign manager @jomalleydillon is doing a live interview with Politico right now. Asked about suggestions that Biden organizers should be knocking doors in spite of the pandemic, she says door-knocking "doesn't really matter."
More from @jomalleydillon: "We spend so much time talking about tactics. But fundamentally, knocking on a door and not reaching anyone doesn't get you much except leaving a piece of left behind — you might as well send a piece of mail."
"We have over 2,500 staff across all of our battleground states directly engaging with voters, they're doing it over the phone, they're doing it via text, they're doing it online, they're meeting people where they are" and "not putting people in harm's way," @jomalleydillon adds.

Ex-Rhode Island Rep. Claudine Schneider and other former congressional Republicans have launched Republicans for Integrity, an "ad hoc" group that will target Republican incumbents this fall. republicansforintegrity.org
Other founding members of Republicans for Integrity: ex-Rep. Kolbe (AZ), ex-Sen. Durenberger (MN), ex-Rep. Clinger (PA), and ex-Rep. McCloskey (CA). All were anti-Trump in 2016. Schneider and Durenberger openly supported Clinton.
