“The Trump campaign wants to paint Biden as left-wing, despite his moderate record.”

Grant Reeher, professor of political science in the Maxwell School and director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute, was quoted in the USA Today story “The Trump campaign wants to paint Biden as left-wing, despite his moderate record.” Reeher, who is an expert on American politics and the 2016 election, theorizes that President Trump’s narrative about Biden is “taking advantage of ‘targets of opportunity,’” but that in the end the labels and hyperbole have little impact on voters.
