President Biden’s campaign is keeping the president’s speeches and appearances short and sweet as election day nears, which his deputy campaign manager said was about “quality over quantity” on Saturday.
During an interview with MSNBC on Saturday, host Michael Steele asked principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks about the new strategy. Biden’s aides believe smaller appearances would benefit him more than larger rallies or campaign events, according to NBC News.
“To be honest Quentin, I think that is a very smart idea,” Steele said. “I appreciate that approach because it is a way for the president to hit with clarity, stick his points and move on and not get lost and sidetracked.”
“Our campaign believes in quality over quantity. We believe that these touches, these smaller things that are getting directly to the point about what is going on in the stakes of this election are going to be easier for voters to tap into,” Fulks explained.
Fulks said former President Trump was to blame for the Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, and argued the former president wanted to destroy Social Security and Medicare.
“We’ve got to remove the clutter. Voters are tuning in, and we’ve got to get directly to the point. Donald Trump wants to be a dictator on day one, and he’s saying that he’s proud and that most people like that. We have to just remove all of the clutter and get directly to the message to make it easy for voters to follow, understand, go out and communicate,” Fulks continued.
