Too close for comfort: Where Biden went wrong
by Emily Larsen, Political Reporter | | November 05, 2020 10:53 AM
Joe Biden and President Trump are still trying to win the 270 Electoral College votes necessary to claim the White House starting in January. And the tight margins in a nail-biter election are too close for comfort for many Democrats who were hoping for a blowout win.
There were several troubling signs for Democrats. Trump won millions more votes than he did in 2016, and exit polls showed that he increased his standing among minority voters. Meanwhile, Republicans may keep their majority in the Senate. And while Democrats are poised to keep their House majority, the party lost seats instead of achieving an expected gain.
How did the unthinkable, a Trump win declared on election night, come within striking distance of happening again?
Flush with cash and leading in the polls, Biden’s campaign was confident about his chances and moved to expand the electoral map rather than focus attention on must-win states. In the final days of the campaign, Biden visited Georgia, Iowa, and Ohio, and Harris visited Texas. Trump won the last three states and is leading in Georgia as the state continues counting votes.
The day of the election, Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon declared that Biden had so many paths to victory that even if Biden lost both Florida and Pennsylvania, he could still win the election — which is still a distinct possibility but leaves Biden with fewer paths to victory than he had two days ago.
Some polls showing the former vice president and 36-year Delaware senator leading Trump turned out to be faulty. A Washington Post/ABC Wisconsin poll had Biden ahead by 17 points. Actual results show him less than 1 point ahead of Trump, and the Trump campaign has said it will request a recount in the state.
Other warning signs peeked through.
