2020: Cuomo-Edwards vs. Sandoval-Vitter

[JonathanSwift]

In 2016, Vice President Joe Biden and running mate Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts win in a landslide against a Republican ticket composed of Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson. After a surprisingly uneventful term, President Biden fulfills a campaign promise made in 2016 not to run for a second term. Vice President Warren also declines to run, citing age/health-related concerns. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo triumphs over a weak Democratic field to win his party's nomination. He chooses Maryland Senator Donna Edwards as his running mate.

On the Republican side, former Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval wins the nomination and chooses Louisiana Governor David Vitter as his running mate.

Who wins? Discuss with maps.

LOL at Cuomo picking Edwards.

LOL at Cuomo picking Edwards.

I thought about making Kate Brown or Tammy Baldwin the VP nominee, but I figured that after four years of Biden-Warren, Democrats would rather have a racial minority on the ticket.

My point is that Cuomo is pretty centrist so for him to pick Edwards, Baldwin or even Brown is kind of a stretch, to me at least. Anyways my map:

I think it would be close due to Cuomo's centrist beliefs and to Sandoval's reach to latinos.
But I think Cuomo had enough clout somewhat because of Edwards the east to pull off VA, Sandoval would take the east and south somewhat due to Vitter. Anyways, for your amusement.
