2020 US ELECTION BIDEN v TRUMP (Electoral Map June 16-30): Biden gets Minnesota; Georgia now a toss-up

Geekgod Review electoral map generated with the help of 270towin. We cross-referenced available polls and election data (Emerson, Quinnipiac, Rasmussen) to come up with our electoral map, with studies of 2008, 2012, and 2016 electoral results; Obama-McCain, Obama-Romney, Clinton-Trump.

ELECTORAL VOTES

Vice President Joe Biden increases his projected electoral votes to 238 while Mr. Donald Trump loses 26 EVs and is now down to 155. Colorado (9) and Michigan (16) leans blue as Biden loses New Hampshire (4) which turned from leaning blue to a full-blown battleground state. But the good news for the Biden campaign is Minnesota (10) going a solid blue. On the other hand, Trump still holds Texas (38). This is despite the fact that Biden leads in Texas by 1 point, because it is a solid red state. A huge blow for Trump is the loss of Georgia (16) and Missouri (10) which are now toss-up states.

THE ROAD TO 270: JOE BIDEN

Democrat_Donkey(1)Biden just needs 32 EVs to win the election. He is now leading in most of the battleground states. The easiest path is to focus on states Trump won with a razor-thin margin. Biden leads in Nevada (6) +4, New Hampshire (4) +7, and Pennsylvania (20) +5. If Biden takes Florida (29), a state Trump won with just 1 point, and North Carolina (15), where Trump won by 3 points, then it is game over.

THE ROAD TO 270: DONALD TRUMP

republicanlogo-svgThe first order of business for the Trump campaign: f*cking hold Texas (38). If Texas turns blue, then the rest of the battleground states will not matter anymore. Some silver lining for Trump is he is leading in Iowa (6) and Wisconsin (10) with 1 point. They also should try to wrestle Ohio (18) and North Carolina (15) from Biden who leads the states with 1 to 2 points. Next, focus on the traditionally red states of Arizona (11), Georgia (16), and Missouri (10). However, all of these states are still not enough to reach 270. For that Trump badly needs Florida (29).
