CNN’s inaugural Road to 270 shows Trump in a position to win the White House
CNN ^ | Fri January 5, 2024 | David Chalian and Terence Burlij

CNN’s inaugural “Road to 270” electoral map shows President Joe Biden struggling to recreate his Electoral College majority from his successful 2020 run and former President Donald Trump with enough states solidly in his corner or leaning in his direction to put him in a position to win the presidency again.

This first look at a potential Biden vs. Trump rematch – and the electoral math each would need to capture 270 electoral votes – captures the dynamics at play 10 months from Election Day. Biden is an incumbent president with stubbornly low approval ratings, persistent questions and concerns about his ability to serve another term, and diminished support from some key components of his winning coalition from 2020.

Trump is a seriously flawed candidate who has promised to govern in undemocratic ways and who has already been rejected once by the American people after serving one term as president. He faces four criminal indictments consisting of 91 charges related to his attempts to overturn the legitimate 2020 election results, his mishandling of classified documents after leaving office and allegedly obstructing law enforcement’s attempts to retrieve them, and his falsifying of business records to conceal a hush payment to keep an adult film star from going public with claims of an extramarital affair, which he denies, in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election. He’s pleaded not guilty to all charges against him and maintained no wrongdoing.

I am tempering my optimism. I think that Kurt Schlichter is too gloomy about Trump’s chances. But, the polling data is better than the previous 2 cycles.

Funny how I was unable to locate a similar paragraph detailing Joe Biden's moral and ethical foibles...

"Trump is a seriously flawed candidate who has promised to govern in undemocratic ways"

That a Marxist democrat would consider a candidate flawed that voted in a "undemocratic way" is no surprise.

There's the Big Lie again. The 2020 election was stolen from President Trump; the people did not reject him.

The majority of the charges are prima facie BS.
The rest would be true to Biden himself if the prosecutor was fair in applying the most loosely reading of the law.
The leftists know they can’t stop Trump fairly in an real election so they’re using “lawfare” to derail the Trump train.
But people are no longer buying their gaslighting.

Yeah you noticed that too. Editorizing in a news story used to be frowned on back when I was in journalism.

NY almost elected Lee Zeldin Gov.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if Trump squeezed out a victory in NY?

We could power the electric grid for 100 years with the exploding heads.

I bet he would have gotten elected if all those guys didn't retire in Florida. Think about it. If you're a New Yorker and you're a cop or a firefighter, there's a good chance you're retiring in Florida after you're eligible for your pension.

The natives are getting restless. That’s why the Democrats are importing their voters in from the Third World.
