And DeSantis was nearly beaten by a gay crack-smoking whore-monger, not long ago. PA may now be a reliable Blue State. Let’s hope Texas holds Red. Florida looks pretty good. MI is trouble. GA is problematic. Securing Nevada and Arizona would be helpful. The electoral map is shifting. I think a lot depends on whether the Biden decline is linear, or becomes exponential. But FFS, let’s not listen to the MSM.
Gillum wasn’t found to be a crack smoking gay John until after the election. DeSantis turned a narrow victory into a 20-point landslide in 4 years against a former FL governor. Pretty impressive.
The 2024 map is hard. Florida, Texas, Ohio, Iowa and NC are pretty safe. Everything after that is dicey. NH is fools gold. Michigan is probably off the board. I wouldn’t count on Maine either. You more of less have to win 3 out of 5 of GA, AZ, NV, PA, WI. We’re probably going to be 1-4 in senate races this year in those states. Those are federal offices, so I think that’s better representative of presidential voting patterns than governorships. Granted, all of the incumbents appear to be positioned to win, and I don’t know if Biden will be running which could be an advantage or a disadvantage. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Brian Kemp ended up on the ticket to help get GA nailed down.
Also, unless the GOP gets a lot better about ballot harvesting, it may be a lost cause. Democrats can overcome a lot of bad environmental factors and bad candidates with their machinery.
