Joe Biden will become "an underdog" if he fails to win Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes, FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver said on ABC's "This Week" Sunday.
Why it matters: Trump won the battleground by less than a point in 2016, as he narrowly swept swing states in the Rust Belt to secure victory in the Electoral College. FiveThirtyEight's average of polls currently shows Biden with a 5% lead in Pennsylvania.
What he's saying: Silver told "This Week" that if Trump ends up winning the election, "it would come down to Pennsylvania."
"Pennsylvania has not bumped up to a 7- or 8-point Biden lead like we see in Michigan and Wisconsin. It's 5 points. It's not a big early voting state, so a lot of votes have not yet been cast in Pennsylvania," Silver said.

Nate silver doesn’t know how to get home.
He is got to be kidding.
Trump is killing Harris/Biden in Michigan. No traction here, traditional blocs split or leaning to DNT. We really want our economy back. Never forget Whitless is Buddy’s campaign freakin co-chair. (Who just tightened the good screw/garotte on the citizens and restaurant/bars/schools another vicious notch this past weak even after flipping off the state supreme court. No negotiating with the Legislature here as ordered, no not for this monarch. Foolish knaves.
DNT = DJT
The popular vote pact is in fact not in effect yet, so it’s not even a concern :)
