Most people would not have guessed that Clinton would win Arizona, while losing Colorado.
In this election, not many people would have guessed that Biden might win Georgia and North Carolina, while possibly losing Florida.
Clinton ran a great race in 1996, but did not have a good campaign in Colorado. Biden ran a great race in 2020, but he appears to have mishandled Florida. Never-the-less, he will still win by a decisive margin, possibly a landslide.
Hillary did great among Latinos in 2016, and especially among Cuban-Americans. Biden has not campaigned well with Cuban-Americans, and it appears that he will not do nearly as well with them in the voting as HRC did.
In 2024 we will work harder to win Cuban voters. In the meantime, we are still in great shape to win this election. And Joe can be proud of his remarkable performance.
