2020 US Election: Experts Project Trump, Biden’s Path To White House
Votes count continues in battleground states
As the American people, with bated breath, await the official declaration of who occupies the White House as president in the coming four years, heightening tension is evident everywhere in the country.
Interestingly, political commentators and polling experts are having a field day looking into their crystal balls to determine possible outcome of the now controversy-ridden presidential poll.
And there is no letting off the steam on their permutations as the votes count continues in the battleground states of Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania
Though opinion differs, many believe there are still paths to victory in the race for both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
However, popular trajectory seems to favour the submission that Biden has more ways to win and appears to be running stronger state to state, based on the places, cities, mainly where large absentee votes are not yet counted.
Biden leads the electoral college vote tally 264-214 after he was declared the winner in Michigan and Wisconsin on Wednesday and Trump gained one vote in Maine.
Adding Alaska for Trump, which had not been called but where the result is not in doubt, gives the President 217.
From there, four states remained to be called: Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
Trump’s Path
For Trump to find the 53 electoral votes he needs, he would need to win Pennsylvania, plus all three other states.
But a huge Democratic vote share remained to be tallied in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, meaning Trump could have difficulty hanging on to a narrow lead gained elsewhere in the state.
Biden’s Path
Biden has more paths to find his remaining six electoral votes. One path lies through Pennsylvania, which would net 20 votes.
Without Pennsylvania, Biden could win by winning Nevada, where he held a clear but narrow lead.
Also, a Biden victory in either of the two reddest states in the mix – Georgia or North Carolina – would almost certainly foretell wins elsewhere and a Biden victory. – With The Guardian reports
