Democratic Super PAC Predicts Close Race

July 23, 2019 · 1:55 pm ET · Leave a Comment

A new forecast from Priorities USA, the largest Democratic super PAC, finds the eventual Democratic candidate would beat President Trump narrowly in the Electoral College, 278 to 260.

“Trump won 306 electoral votes in 2016, compared to Hillary Clinton’s 260, by carrying traditionally blue states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The Priorities USA model moves those states back into the Democratic column, but not by much, and if Trump were to hang on to only one of those three states, he’d win the Electoral College.”
