Politico: Familiar presidential battlegroundsnot just Ohio and Virginia, but also Colorado, Iowa and moreare fading from the radar. States that havent experienced a top-of-the-ticket dogfight in decadeslike Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota and maybe even Texasare suddenly poised to play a pivotal role.
You can argue about whether Minnesotaa cradle of liberalism that produced Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale and Paul Wellstoneis a pipe dream for Trump in 2020. Or whether Texaswhere Republicans hold all nine statewide elected offices, both Senate seats and both chambers of the Legislaturewill truly be in play in November. But one thing seems increasingly inarguable: This presidential race will be fought on electoral terrain that would have been unthinkable four years ago, before Trump blew everything up.
