That alone is likely good for another 5-10% of the Indies switching to Biden.

Let's remember what 2016 looked like...

Trump - 48.1%
Clinton - 44.6%

We're talking a mere 1.75% swing to tie it up. Trump is less popular out here now than he was then and Biden has higher favorables than Hillary did. And with Kelly running for Senator he may help pull in some votes for Biden as much as Joe does for Mark.

I take it back...if Joe can't swing a lousy 2% then I'll eat TWO MAGA caps.

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