to light through lawsuits. It's what the Republicans have been quietly doing to erode government regulation for years.

I'd probably lean into a Sunbelt Dem (many Sen/Govs won election/reelection despite Trumps wins there.) that can bring PA/MI/Wis/Ohio while maintaining NM, CO and NV. FL seems to be out of play when an extreme racist and fraud is at the top of the ticket. I'm not sure Beto-Gillum is the ticket for that. Then again, they may have the magic to capture those states.

The 3 states that Hillary lost in 2016, that ultimately cost her the whitehouse, swung to the Dems tonight and that may be key.
