Idk, when you look at the entire picture, does Trump not have the far easier path to 270 this year? He only has to win 2 states (PA & GA) and that’s it, he wins. Kamala has to win at the minimum 3, and if she loses PA, it becomes even harder for her. Trump could just spend all of his money campaigning in those 2 states and get back in the White House. Yet these odds seem to disagree with me.

Am I trippin?

    Harris has to win 3 states, PA, MI, and WI. Losing any one of those three throws it to Trump.

    It is going to be a nail biter!

      That’s what I’m saying, I think MI will go to Harris, but if she loses PA, Trump just needs NV & AZ and he’s going back to the White House.

      While if Harris loses PA, she HAS to win GA, there’s no path to victory for her without GA in this scenario.

          I don’t think that’ll matter, Trump BARELY won MI in 2016 by less than 10k votes, and that was with Russian Psyop Jill Stein stealing votes from Hillary there.

          In 2020, Michigan had the highest youth turnout in the country and Biden won it by 150k votes.

          I don’t see how Trump can flip that state back, those are insane margins.

          MI will be complicated because of the Muslim vote and Gaza.

          Which is just bizarre, because Trump has shown he is much more willing to suck up to whatever Netanyahu wants than Biden or Harris.

            It doesn’t matter to trump voters what he shows, they only believe what he says, not what he does.

            The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

      Losing any one of those three throws it to Trump.

      Unless she win NC or OH. She’s doing really well in both.

      I think this is going to be a giant blowout win for Kamala. But, please, no one get cocky! Everyone has to actually vote!

        I don’t see NC, OH, AZ, NV, or GA going to Harris. It’s wishful thinking, but I wouldn’t count on any of them.
