Breitbart News Saturday Host Matt Boyle asked Blair what he thought about “possible surprises” in states like Virginia, New Mexico, Minnesota, New York and New Jersey.
“I know President Trump has another event coming up at Madison Square Garden in New York City. I know that state is near and dear to his heart. We talked about that with him, and he mentioned New Jersey to us as well, which could be based on what we've seen so far. “Is there?” Boyle asked.
“I think there could be a surprise. It's a surprise for us, but it's not really a surprise for them, and that's the good thing about it,” Blair replied.

So I think there could be some surprises,” he said.
He said that while most of their attention is in seven key battleground states, the Trump campaign is “still keeping an eye on other states,” and that historically some states have He added that the resolution of the case has been extremely delayed.
“So in 2016, President Trump ended very strongly in the last few weeks and in some ways made progress. A similar trajectory started even earlier and he's closing very hard and pulling forward. So if we can keep this up, there's a good chance that some of the other states will move further in the board in the last days,” he predicted.
