2020: President Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump

[Sir Mohamed]

How do you see 2020 turning out if Biden was the sitting POTUS and Donald Trump his challenger? Say Biden won the 2016 election against Cruz by a fair margin. Trump didn't run in 2016 here, but chose to do so in 2020.

Hows the economy doing? COVID response? we need background.

Reasonable to assume the economy would just have been fine up until COVID came, which Biden would have handled with far more competence than Trump ever did. Only question is whether the GOP would have blocked most relief/rescue bills because that would have handed Biden a win during an election year.

That's interesting. It's hard to say how the race would've turned out if the roles were reversed. I might say Trump would've had the narrow edge as this would be Biden running for a fourth straight Democratic term. I think a generic non-Trump Republican would've very likely won.

As for this hypothetical though:



Wisconsin and Pennsylvania narrowly flip. Michigan and Nevada narrowly stay blue.

Perhaps bold statement?: COVID would've made whoever won in 2016 the underdog.
