Discuss with maps. Your vote is without hindsight, but how they would run their campaigns can be informed by how they ran their presidential campaigns later in life.

Bonus - how does the map change if Jesse Jackson - Bernie Sanders runs as independent?

I'd vote for Biden and lean toward him winning. Trump, IIRC, fancied himself as  a Rockefeller Republican at that time, so I doubt the Republican base would turn out for him in large numbers.

I'd vote for Biden and I assume he wins too.



Like Goldwater, The Northeast rapidly moves away from The GOP but not to the extent of Goldwater '64. Besides The Northeast, Biden does the strongest across ancestrally Catholic areas, the Democratic stronghold of West Virginia, and farming areas hit hard by the farming crisis, including the normally Republican stronghold of South Dakota. I'm writing this with the exception that Trump runs similarly to how he did in 2016 besides being tough on Japan instead of China and Biden is running as a strong advocate for labor and natural heir to JFK.

Jesse Jackson would probably take more votes from Biden, but he could win over some potential Trump voters as well. With Jesse on the ticket, Trump wins NH, SD, MT, IL and CA, to win a landslide of 334/204, while winning the P.V. as well.

Trump does the strongest in conservative areas of the West, throughout the South and industrial areas of The Rust Belt.

Homestate stats:

New York home of Donald Trump: 64/34 Biden win
Delaware home of Joe Biden:53/45 Biden win
North Carolina home of Elizabeth Dole: 51/47 Trump win
Tennesee home of Al Gore: 52/46 Trump win

Strongest state/district (Biden): DC 87/10 Biden
Strongest Biden state: Rhode Island 68/30 Biden
Strongest Trump state: Utah 59/39 Trump
Closest Biden state win: New Hampshire Biden .18%
Closest Trump state win: Missouri 0.02% Trump

Joe Biden: 49.83%/286 E.V.
Donald Trump: 49.05% P.V./252 E.V.
