President Joe Biden’s electoral path to staying in the White House runs through a handful of battleground states. But that route is quickly fading.
The continued fallout from his disastrous debate performance that raised questions about his mental acuity and his electability against former President Donald Trump includes key states shifting in the GOP’s favor and more Democrats hitting the panic button.
The University of Virginia Center for Politics’s election forecaster, Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball, downgraded a state that’s historically been a Democratic stronghold, Minnesota, from “likely Democratic” to “leans Democratic,” putting it one notch away from the toss-up states of Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Michigan was also moved into the toss-up category from “leans Democratic.”
“We are solidly behind President Biden here in Michigan, and we’re very focused on the work that we know we need to do to win in November,” Michigan Democratic Party Chairwoman Lavora Barnes told the Washington Examiner.
