85 Day Trump stump begins in Kissimee with a bright red “Team Trump” bus

The Trump campaign is going big and bold in their efforts to win the president’s “adopted” home state.

A series of in-person rallies kicked-off in Kissimmee, Monday with a bright red bus at the center of attention.

With Team Trump written in bold white letters surrounded by white stars, the bus is tough to miss.

Onboard is the President’s third child, Eric Trump, accompanied yesterday by senior campaign adviser Corey Lewandowski, Florida Lt. Gov. Jeannette Nunez, and former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. 

The small kick-off rally at the Osceola County Republican Headquarters is the first of an 85-day tour that will lead up to Election Day, November 3, 2020.

The younger Trump admitted Central Florida is a must-win portion of a must-win state and encouraged residents to vote-by-mail.

“Vote absentee, you guys are so lucky in Florida you actually have an honest system,” said Eric Trump. “You have an honest system, so go out and vote absentee.”

While Florida eliminated absentee voting in 2016 in favor of voting by mail, the message from the Trump team and the GOP volunteers at a voter registration tent was the same, vote with your mail ballot.

For weeks the Florida GOP has watched as Democrats have surpassed them in requests for vote-by-mail ballots, something that in previous election cycles had not happened.

In fact, in the last two statewide elections, it is Florida Republicans who have clearly dominated the vote-by-mail option.

For the party, voters that request a ballot are more likely to vote. This bankable vote has given the Florida GOP a tool needed to eat into Democratic gains in early voting and day-of voting.

In Pennsylvania, a similar but different bus also rolled out yesterday.

The bold, pink Women for Trump bus tour, led by the Presidents daughter Ivanka Trump, will travel through New England.

It is not scheduled to make a stop in Florida.
