What if Biden was the nominee instead of Hillary?

He wins with Hillary's map plus Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida. Arizona and North Carolina are very close and could go either way. Iowa and Ohio are much closer, though Trump still takes both narrowly. Georgia and Texas still swing D, maybe even more so than in real life, though I would still bet on Trump for both.

Democrats take back the Senate by flipping PA, WI, MO (I would assume Biden does better there than Hillary), and maybe one or more of NC, FL and IN, in addition to IL and NH.

Biden wins, but not in a landslide.



✓ Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE)/Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA): 278 EVs.; 49.6%
Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY)/Governor Mike Pence (R-IN): 260 EVs.; 46.0%

Uncle Joe is obviously a stronger candidate than Hillary, so he would have won. I think Arizona wasn't ready to flip in 2016 unless there is a landslide.



✓ Vice President Joseph R. Biden (D-DE)/Mayor Eric Garcetti (D-CA): 323 EV. (50.63%)
Entertainer Donald J. Trump (R-NY)/Governor Michael R. Pence (R-IN): 215 EV. (45.98%)

Biden takes all Clinton states + Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Texas, and Iowa.

In the Senate, Dems also take PA, MO, WI, NC, FL, IN, OH, and IA (the latter 2 with better candidates than they had irl).

For Governorships, Dems also win in NH, MO, IN, and VT.

Dems also narrowly take the US House.

Biden wins the NPV by 14 points instead of 2.

I don't think Biden wins that big but I do agree eye wins most if them

This is the most realistic guess imo

Seems about right. Arizona and North Carolina, in my opinion, definitely would flip to Joe Biden. Democrats might regain the House of Representatives as well.
