Donald Trump’s campaign manager said Monday there are several ways for the presumptive GOP nominee to win the presidency in November.

He named Oregon, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia as states that are “in play.”

In the 2012 election, President Obama won all of those states.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday he thinks Trump will “expand the map,” adding he thinks the party will be able to “flip” a few states to win.
