    Obama won Florida twice. It's not beyond the realm of possibility.

    But the GOP has had eight years to double down on voter disenfranchisement. Florida couldn't flip during the 2018 wave year. Like, Texas closed a 10-pt gap, but Florida didn't budge.

    Arizona and North Carolina seem more likely, if for no other reason than their governors aren't shameless Trump shills.

      Thats my thought. If Florida was gonna go blue in 2020, 2018 would have been closer.

      AZ and NC have recent histories of dems winning statewide races. I'd say both are winnable if Biden campaigns well. Doubt he will but still

        Both were painfully tight in '18, and with some pretty competent, attractive, and skilled politicians on the Dem ballot facing off against a pack of entitled idiots and assholes on the GOP side.

        We still have the second bit. Not sure if the state campaigns can make up for lacking the first. Biden's as entitled a prick as anyone the Dems could have fielded.
