Look: Biden's performance in Ohio likely means he's performing above Hillary in PA, MI and WI.

It's not ideal but the fundamentals of this election still favor Biden because he likely is winning those three states at the moment (and don't stress, please, about Trump's lead in Michigan).

If Biden wins Arizona, it'll add a cushion.

If he somehow holds on in Ohio, it'll be game over.

I wasn’t expecting any miracles and I don’t want to get my hopes up yet.... but I am encouraged so far!

Unless Biden is really winning Cuyahoga County with 75% of the vote - which would be even larger than Obama's lead there in 2008.

I'm in PA and I've been saying all along that PA will go for Biden. It makes me happy to see Ohio doing their damned-est to go BLUE this year. I think of Ohio as our "sister"-state.

still on track to win.

I would have some concern about NV if Biden is underperforming w/Latinos - we must hold it and the blue wall to win. But if we get OH it would offset it.

Also this election looks like a dichotomy between the south and the rust belt/Great Lake states. Biden under performing in the south and over performing in the rust belt/Great Lakes states. I’m ok with that as long as we win.
