I think I see what he’s getting at.
Having one less state due to Arizona decertifying means there are 49 states, not 50.
The -United- States are 50 states, not 49.
Except one needs 270 electoral votes to win (or 269 to lose)
306 biden, 232 Trump; 38 needed by Trump to get to 270.
AZ 11 EV, GA 16 EV, PA 20 EV, WI 10 EV, MI 16 EV, NV 6 EV; the 6 “swing states”.
AZ plus two of the other states (except NV) listed would do it.
