9. I think he's going to lose some of the Christian vote.

I think you're right about that. He got the majority of Christians' votes in 2016 - not just white Evangelicals, but 58% of Protestants, 52% of Catholics, and 61% of Mormons. It's possible that this time around, he won't get the majority of Christians' votes. That's important, because if he doesn't get most of the Christians, he can't win. Non-Christians overwhelmingly went for Clinton in 2016, and I'm certain we can count on them to support Biden in November.
