‘A Democratic Tsunami’: Cook Political Report Updates Its 2020 Map

The Cook Political Report updated its 2020 electoral college projection map Wednesday, giving presumptive Democratic nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden a healthy lead over President Donald Trump.

Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, two states that were crucial to Trump’s win in 2016, moved from the “toss up” column to the “lean Democratic” column. Georgia, which Trump won by over five points in 2016, moved from the “lean Republican” column to the “toss up” column, joining Arizona, North Carolina and Florida, the updated map shows.

Trump won all of those states four years ago.

“This election is looking more like a Democratic tsunami than simply a blue wave,” said Amy Walter, Cook’s national editor.

Other changes to the projection include Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, which moved from “likely Republican” to “lean Republican.” Maine, which apportions its electoral votes by congressional district, moved from “lean Democratic” to “likely Democratic” as a result.

Nebraska, the only other state apportions its electoral votes by congressional district, saw its suburban 2nd Congressional District shift from “toss up” to “lean Democrat” in Cook’s report.

“These moves alone push Biden over the 270 electoral vote threshold,” Walter said, meaning that Biden would still win the election if he were to lose every toss up state.

It factors in any damned thing the Democrat masters of the media want.

I don't get it, personally, but IMO ignoring this tsunamic of negative polling for Trump is foolish.

We have about 5 more jobs reports from now until the election, hopefully those improve the situation.

This is disheartening. Vote, but prepare for the worst IMO.

Folks want none of those things.  But they also have had enough of Donald Trump.

This is what happens when both parties decide to present John Q. Public with such rotten choices.

When was the last time we had a "decent" choice?  1988?

Life's full of shit choices we have to make, don't know why it's such a shock politics is like that.

Maybe if more people bothered to do their own research and voted in primaries instead of letting their "betters" tell them what to do it wouldn't be like that.

Bullshit.  We must demand better.   Why should I be forced to choose between the lesser of two evils?  I'd rather not vote at all for President (especially since my vote will likely be cancelled out by a fraudulent vote anyhow.)

If Joe Biden can beat Donald Trump (considering what's going on in America right now), then we will never see a Republican elected to the presidency again.

The democrat-communists will make sure of that, whether Joe hangs on until the end of his term, or is replaced due to declining competency. They'll pack the courts, give DC statehood, end the filibuster and ram through the Congress legislation that will make obamacare look conservative by comparison.

Perhaps some as-yet-completely-unexpected event or series of events awaits us between now and November that will send shock waves throughout the population and change their minds.

But right now, things ain't lookin' so good.
Not for Mr. Trump -- and certainly not for the prospect of a free American future.

You've been saying this since the day you joined this forum in 2015 @Jazzhead .  You've been consistently wrong.  It's time for a new and improved argument from you.

No.  This is what happens when one candidate is so awful he cannot be seen in public, even announcing he will not be holding rallies.  In the blink of an eye I expect Biden will also announce he will not be participating in debates.  The media will wildly applaud ... you will blame the President.

Where is your outrage that the socialist-democrats are playing you, especially you, for a useful idiot?  Or is this the willing price you pay to install the socialists?  After all, in 2016 Hillary was acceptable to you, so history being prelude, so, too, is Biden.

I think after five years here you know you'll not be banned for admitting who and what you truly are.  So, respect us enough to drop the façade.

Because in a close election, as this will be, every vote against the Socialist Politburo under the figurehead Joe Biden is needed.  It's your right not to vote for the President, but execute that right with care.
