that is not true. he needed all 3 of PA, WI, and MI to win in 2016 SiliconValley_Dem Aug 2020 #3
If you look at the projected EC maps, Biden would only need one. He's winning in other areas Thekaspervote Aug 2020 #7
Trump needed just one of those three. nsd Aug 2020 #8

Ignoring faithless electors, Trump won 306 EV, which is 36 more than needed. WI has 10, MI 16, and PA 20.

Winning WI alone would have been enough for Trump — again ignoring faithless electors.

I don't know if we have increased chance of winning NC, Mich, Pa, Wi over 2016--but it feels like we do. I would add there seems to be hope for Florida

voters", and a lot of the polls we have seen with larger gaps were registered voters not likely voters

I suspect this election is going to be close regardless

One thing trump has accomplished, he has united the Democratic party among Democrats from the left, middle, and right that was not there in 2016, and also has generated a huge amount of enthusiasm to see trump removed

I am not sure if that enthusiasm to have trump removed has been modeled into the likely voter analysis

I'm hoping more people will wake up to the danger that is trump. I'm hoping more republicans will disavow him, but I doubt they will.
