Do you want to play a game

go here

https://www.270towin.com/

turn all the pinks and dark pinks to red

you come up with trump only having 160 EV

Now look at Biden's dark blue safe states. He has 183 EV

That is without changing any of the med or light blues.

Now change all the med blues to dark blue. Biden gets 210 EV

He only needs 61 EV to win and you still haven't changed the light blue to Biden. Figure out which states Biden needs to win for victory. Remember you get to chose between the light blues and the grays (toss-ups)

Where you have given trump every shade of pink/red. He needs to get 111 EV from the remainder of the field. Try to figure out what path trump has between the gray toss-up and the light blues.

He has to get FL,GA,OH,PA,NC, and MI. If he loses any one of them, he is light toast. If he loses 2 he is burnt toast.
