Biden could win by just flipping a single state. Suddenly it's in play [View all]
Ever since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016, Democrats have studied maps and data, strategizing on the most efficient way to defeat him in 2020.
As that election showed, Democrats could win the majority of votes in the country, but still lose the election in the Electoral College.
There are some complicated paths for victory for Democrats, some of which involve flipping as many as four states that went for Trump in 2016.
A simpler one is for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden to win all the states that Hillary Clinton won and then flip Florida and Arizona, which would get him 272 electoral votes and victory.
But there is one scenario that only involves flipping one state — and then Biden is the next President of the United States. That state would be Texas. If Biden wins all of the states Clinton won and just flipped Texas, he would have exactly 270 electoral votes.
The Texas scenario is rarely talked about for a reason. Democrats haven’t won the state in a presidential election since 1976. And Clinton’s 9-point loss was the closest margin in 20 years. Nine points is a lot!
