If Biden wins Florida, game over. [View all]

I have been looking at the electoral college map. If Biden wins Florida all he will have to do is win one of the states that Clinton lost by a total of 78,000 votes, Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin.

Biden is also doing well in Arizona. Biden will probably win all the states Clinton won. Trump probably will not pick up any new states. All the pressure is on the Trump campaign, that's why they freaking out.

If Biden wins Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, loses Florida, he only needs to win one other state that Clinton lost to win.
