If we lost WI and AZ possible 269-269 tie. We would lose because of house delegations.

are basically even, with PA being slightly more likely to win, so WI gets the TP designation in the model.
It will likely flip back and forth for a bit as more polls change odds on the margins.

He seems to be stuck at +5 in Wisconsin. There were some big shifts in some states toward Joe last week so maybe his WI numbers will rise above +5.

(785 posts)4. But Biden is polling ahead quite a bit in NE-02 district
He won't lose that district. He'll get 270.
