Michael Moore: Trump on track for reelection [View all]

Liberal activist and filmmaker Michael Moore believes President Trump is on track to win reelection in 2020 despite his low approval poll ratings.
Moore encouraged Democrats to back a movement to award Electoral College votes to the national popular vote winner, saying it was the best way to keep Trump from getting reelected.
“I should say reappointed, because we will have an even larger population that will vote against him in 2020,” Moore said in an interview with Fast Company magazine published Monday. “But he will win those electoral states as it stands now.”
Trump lost the popular votes by more than 3 millions voters, but won in the Electoral College by a comfortable 306-232 margin. The real estate mogul won in states seen as Clinton’s blue wall, ones that have gone Democratic in several recent elections, including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Moore, who was one of few prominent voices who predicted Trump would win in 2016, urged Democrats to accept an agreement adopted by 10 states and Washington, D.C., that awards each of their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular vote, called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
