Trump campaign to target 17 states in November, including Arizona and Georgia

Mr. Murphy said Mr. Trump would focus on Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin…

Mr. Trump is ahead by only four points in Georgia – a state Mr. Romney won by eight points. In Arizona, a recent OH Predictive Insights survey showed him trailing Mrs. Clinton by four points. Mr. Romney won Arizona by a nine-point margin.

Two other reliably Republican states, Indiana and Missouri, are also on Mr. Trump’s short list.

“We always defend our home turf,” Ms. Giorno said. “I am not concerned that Hillary Clinton is going to flip those states to blue.”
