      I agree that would happen. Unfortunately, because of the vote distribution of red states and EC delegates, it’s almost impossible for it to occur.

      As it stands, Dems need to be up in the polls by 6-9 points for the likelihood of their winning the presidential race to be assured. Even then, it’s a squeaker. Look at 2016 and 2020 as reference.
