Biden will exceed Obama's 2008 vote total and tRump will lose about 1 million votes due to switches to Biden AND some republicans sitting this election out. This will end up with him winning the popular vote by over 10 million with huge numbers run up on the West Coast and NE States.

Trump got 62 million votes last time. I think he drops to 58 million. Hillary got nearly 65 million in 2016. I think Biden gets 68 million and wins.

I hope you are right on The Shitstain dropping that many voters, (basically losing 6% of his vote) but I like the way you think.

My guess is 1 million drop with Biden/Harris adding a million to Obama/Biden 2008 record vote total.

I suppose the Suburban voter flip to Biden counts as a double gain.

likewise I am not as confident of an Electoral win.

I expect it will be closer than 2016 but may fall short of 270. Everyone needs to vote so no state slips away
