How Trump Can Win

Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien spoke on C-SPAN about how he thinks Donald Trump can win the presidential race.

Said Stepien: “We have a quiet confidence based on our pathway…. You want optionality in politics. You want optionality when you look at the map. The president holds true to the states he won in 2016. I’m asked all the time, how are you going to run the table in the Upper Midwest again? He just has to win one of three. He won with 306 electoral votes, not 270, not on the button. We have some cushion there.”

He added: “But I’d also talk about optionality and some near misses, right? He lost by 1,700 votes in New Hampshire, barely lost — by a point and a half — in Minnesota, by 2 points in Nevada, by 3 points in Maine. We were talking about Maine in the previous segment. Mitt Romney lost by 15. So we see optionality when we look at the map. We would see multiple pathways when we look at the map. And that’s what you want when you look at a campaign.”

The consensus electoral map currently has Biden with 320 electoral votes, Trump with 125 and another 93 as Toss Ups.
