Caveats: 1. I am almost the worst person ever on this. I haven't been right about the winner since 08. 2. I think Biden wins. I have thought that all year long (and thought he was the best shot before that). 3. I think EC will be surprisingly close.
I'd honestly be shocked if Trump won MI or WI. It was the flukiest fluke of flukes he won it last time. A slight AA increased turnout shifts that election. I think Biden has accomplished at least that.
I would NOT be surprised if Biden wins Ohio. And NE-1.
I would be a little surprised if Biden wins Florida or Iowa.
I would NOT be surprised if Trump wins Minnesota.
I would be slightly surprised if Trump wins Pennsylvania or Arizona.
Pennsylvania is the most important state this year. I don't see a path for Trump without it...and losing it would make Biden's lead tenuous.
As for Senate...would be a minor miracle (And a Dem missed opportunity) if GOP holds the Senate. Could you imagine the furor from the Left, even if Biden wins?
This map comes down to Iowa (which is moving toward Ernst) and North Carolina (where Tillis is trailing but surging).

"There is powerful evidence that the new coronavirus passed naturally from an animal into humans...But though they agree that many cases were linked to the market in Wuhan, many scientists no longer believe it is where the outbreak began."
"What was not publicly known was that committee’s Jan. 23 decision followed intense lobbying...members are experts largely insulated from influence [but ]China’s ambassador made it clear that his country would view WHO emergency declaration as a vote of no confidence."
"In this study, index patients were defined as the first household members with COVID19–compatible symptoms who received a positive SARS reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test result, and who lived with at least one other household member."
See a problem?
First, we know a high percentage of COVID infected patients are ASYMPTOMATIC.
Second, we know children are asymptomatic more than adults.
Third, there is suspicion that symptomatic children transfer the virus more often than asymptomatic ones.
I'll believe Twitter the moment they release data on the break down of people they have blocked, especially their blocks and sometimes downright harassment of blue checks and other high end users.
"Gadde herself doesn’t shrink from the notion that she wants to help make a more comfortable and empowering world for marginalized people."
If this is your world view...how could you possibly ever not take a side?
"What I do know is that...two aspects of the Never Trump movement will outlast Trump. First, we will always be able to say that when Trump and his thugs took over GOP and then the elected branches of the govt, we did not cut and run. We stood and fought."
LOL.
There was no fight. Some of the capitulated. Some of the TRIED to capitulate (look for jobs, and didn't get them). Others valiant stormed the beaches of Twitter, and that was it.
"When the polls close, we want election workers to know precisely how many legitimate ballots exist in a voting “universe.” They don’t need to immediately know who won, but they need to know there are, say, 12,345 votes that have been legitimately cast in their jurisdiction."
"This makes it much easier to catch accidental over or under-counts. If, after counting all the votes (and any blank ballots), if the sum comes up to 12,352, they know a few ballots were counted twice. If the sum comes up to 12,335, they know ten ballots didn’t get counted."
