Team Trump believe they can flip Democrat strongholds of Virginia and Minnesota in November presidential election

Behind closed doors, top strategists for Donald Trump's campaign told donors that they believe they can flip the Democratic strongholds Minnesota and Virginia red.

Trump's team presented their plan to the former president's financial backers at a Republican National Committee retreat on Saturday.

Availing themselves of internal surveys, pollster Tony Fabrizio - one of Trump's favorites - and senior advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles made their pitch to the donors.

According to two witnesses who were present at the meeting, which took place at the Four Seasons resort in Palm Beach, the presentation was centered around finances, messaging, and the political map.
