BTRTN 2020 Official Election Predictions: Biden Wins and Dems Achieve a Trifecta

Born To Run the Numbers provides its official predictions for the 2020 elections for President, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the governors races:

Born To Run The Numbers predicts:
--Joe Biden will become our 46th President by a comfortable margin, earning 351 electoral votes to 187 for Donald Trump. Trump will become the first incumbent to be defeated in his bid for reelection in 28 years, since Bill Clinton beat George H.W. Bush in 1992.
--Biden will have a Democratic Senate to work with, as the Democrats squeak out a 50-seat majority, with Vice President Kamala Harris presiding over her former colleagues and able to break ties with a deciding vote as needed. But there will be two run-off elections in January that will each be very close.
--Not surprisingly, the Democrats will maintain control of the House of Representatives, adding 18 seats to extend their impressive majority to an overwhelming one, 251 to 184.
--The GOP will only be able to point to one consolation prize; they will win the only state house that flips in this election, thereby increasing their Governor majority to 27 to 23.
BTRTN provides its prediction for the electoral college votes in each state in the Presidential race, every Senate race, every seat in the House of Representatives, and each governors race at the link above.
BTRTN reserves the right to provide an updated prediction tomorrow at 5:00 Eastern Time if significant new polling data comes out tomorrow.
