2020: Amy Klobuchar vs. President Donald Trump

[Suburbia]

President Donald Trump runs again, wins Republican renomination, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar wins the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination in a grueling battle.

Who wins?

President Trump/Mike Pence: 306 electoral votes and 48% of the popular vote
Amy Klobuchar/Joe Biden: 232 electoral votes and 50% of the popular vote

Assuming COVID still wrecks havoc on America.

Klob is uninspiring for African-Americans, leading to a loss in Georgia.

Do you think the Floyd scandal could force her to stand aside as the presumptive nominee, or perhaps reignite primaries which were presumably all but over by the time of Floyd's death?

Given the Floyd debacle, Klobuchar is probably one of the worst possible nominees for Democrats ex post facto.

Kloubchar would probably have trouble finding a running mate after George Floyd's death, as many prominent Democrats refuse to run with her. She probably ends up picking someone like Kathleen Rice after many other Democrats say no.

Because of COVID-19 Trump isn't able to do much better (and in fact, does worse in many states that are already safe for him). He gets the 2016 map, plus Minnesota.

Why would Amy pick Biden when she could have Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Buttigieg, Beto, etc?

Interesting. You have Trump picking up Klobuchar's home state. I can see it though. I think she'd hold MN and narrowly flip WI. While Trump holds MI, PA and flips NV and NH for 306-232 again.

[President Biden Democrat]

Before the Floyd Killing and the BLM Protests, I'd give it to Klobuchar, given the circumstances. Now, it could go either way. I'd still have Klobuchar winning but in a very close election:

Amy Klobuchar/VP Nominee: 278
President Trump/Vice President Pence: 260

[Suburbia]

She'd probably lose.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Klobuchar selects Cory Booker as her running mate.

Klobuchar defeats Trump 273-265.
