In bad news, Florida and Ohio (47 electoral votes) are probably still in the Trump (R) column yesterday. In the good news, Michigan + Pennsylvania + Wisconsin (46 electoral votes) have moved more in the Clinton (D) column. Hillary Clinton won 232 electoral votes (minus later defections) on election night. Adding 46 more to her total would have gotten a little over >270 to win. Country still divided in the electoral college.
Bloomberg - Rust Belt Defeats Are a 2020 Warning for Trump
Bloomberg - Rust Belt Defeats Are a 2020 Warning for Trump
2012 election resultsPresident Donald Trump got a warning sign on Tuesday from the Midwestern and Rust Belt states that handed him the presidency, as voters delivered big victories to Democrats and offered a road map for the crowd of candidates lining up to challenge him in 2020.
Democrats in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan swept the races for Senate and governor, and picked up valuable House seats, defeating Trump-backed Republicans at all levels. Whether it’s a fleeting backlash or a long-term political shift remains to be seen, but the outcome in those key states is enough to give Republicans heartburn.
Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey and Governor Tom Wolf cruised to re-election. Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer won the governorship and Senator Debbie Stabenow, a member of Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s leadership team, was re-elected. Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin won her race running on an unabashedly liberal platform, while Democrat Tony Evers was declared the winner over Republican Governor Scott Walker.
In 2016, Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, but he won presidency with victories in those three Democratic-leaning states by a total of less than 80,000 votes. A Democrat who can hold Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin and their 46 Electoral College votes in 2020 along with the states that Clinton carried would win the presidency.
