June 25, 2020The Electoral College: Trump’s Floodgates are Creaking By Kyle Kondik
Florida, Pennsylvania shift toward Biden, but he’s still shy of the magic number 270 in our ratings.
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— We are making two Electoral College rating changes this week.
— Florida moves from Leans Republican to Toss-up, and Pennsylvania moves from Toss-up to Leans Democratic.
— This means 268 electoral votes are rated as at least leaning to Joe Biden in our ratings; 204 are at least leaning to Donald Trump; and there are 66 electoral votes in the Toss-up category.
— Biden is decently positioned, although his current lead may be inflated.
