Presidential race outlook:
Biden is in for a tough race, but he has the edge in the early going. In order for Republicans to win back the White House, whether the nominee is Trump or Desantis or someone else, they will have to flip a lot of states that went for Biden in 2020.
Republicans will be particularly targeting these states that flipped from red to blue between 2016 and 2020: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Nevada was also close in 2020, and will likely be a target as well. Trump won in Florida and North Carolina in 2020, but they were very close and therefore an opportunity for Biden to flip those states next election.
