Since then, Virginia has flipped from Red to Blue, but I know of no other state that has flipped from Red to Blue since January 2019. Notice that the important states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, and Arizona are all Red majority in both houses. This means that they would not vote for the Democratic Nominee. Even if every state where Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate voted for the Democratic Nominee, it would not give the Democrats enough Electoral College votes to win the Presidency. We cannot win the Presidency just in the state legislatures, so any attempt to do that would result in 4 more years of Donald Trump.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
