Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe said new digital efforts in the 2020 presidential race will "certainly benefit" the Trump campaign as former Vice President Joe Biden trails behind the president's team on the online battleground.
"When we look at how disastrous these virtual rallies have been for Joe Biden, it's easy to laugh," Boothe said on Sunday's "The Next Revolution." "But, the better question to ask yourself is, 'How can they run a presidential campaign when they can't even run a virtual rally?"'
