[Joe Biden 2024]

How many delegates does each side need to get the nomination?

[PRESIDENT STANTON II]

Why is Biden continuing? He can't hope to overtake Whitmer! He'd have to quite literally run the table in the remaining contests, and even then, if he managed to overtake Whitmer's total, he would fall short, Whitmer could still win by just winning a proportion of the delegates. What does Biden want? Another go at the Vice-presidential slot? As it is evident that Portman has the GOP nomination wrapped up, the only game in town is who will the guy select as his running mate. Also where are both party conventions being held in your TL?

[OSR stands with Israel]

How many delegates does each side need to get the nomination?

GOP: 1237

Dems: 2382(Including Supers)but it does not matter since both Biden and Whitmer have said they would drop out at the end of the primaries if they arent the one with the plurality of pledged delegates. So there will be no Contested Convention

Romney endorses Portman in a Tweet


Romney: It is my pleasure to endorse my good friend and one of the best Vice Presidents this nation has ever had Rob Portman for President. I am confident that he not only will continue the work we began 8 years but expand upon it and make our nation better than it ever has been before.

PORTMAN PORTMAN PORTMAN!!!!!!!

CNN Releases first battleground map:

Rob Portman 237
Gretchen Whitmer 193


John King: The Trends of the Romney years really show up on this map as you see the trends towards the GOP in the Upper South , Appalachia and in the Border States during  the Bush and Obama years reverse in many ways as Romney has been a very suburban friendly president.

On the other hand as we can see many affluent suburban states up north have also trended towards the GOP over the past 8 years and this in many ways have put many states in play during the election.


Wolf Blitzer: Virginia through stands out on this map

King: Well the reason for that is the major suburbs in Virginia or DC suburbs which have continued to grow and the nature of being a DC suburb means that there will be a higher percentage of public sector jobs which usually favor the Democrats even if its not as much as we all expected to be after  2008. Alongside the fact that South Western Virginia is similar to West Virginia in many ways could see Democrats making inroads there as well.

In fact there is a chance that Democrats can win both Virginias and still lose and that hasnt happened since 1888.

Wolf Blitzer: So what would you see is the easiest path for both candidates to victory

King: Well the tossup states on this map that are most favorable to Vice President Portman according to this poll is Kansas , Wisconsin, Nebraska 2nd district  and New Jersey and if you give those states to Vice President Portman it would give the Vice President 268 votes and he would just need one more state to win the election.

Now for Governor Whitmer, the most favorable tossups are Pennsylvania, Missouri, Iowa, and Oregon. Add that to her total and that would give her 236 electoral votes . Add in both Virginias along with Nevada and that will give the Governor 260 votes. Now she can win by taking Kentucky and Maine but that in my opinion taking New Jersey or Wisconsin would be better bets and if she does that she will win the election.


Wolf Bitzer: So for now the path is easier for Vice President Portman

John King: Yes for now , but we have a long way to go so its very likely this battleground map wont stay the battleground map come late September early October.

I understand that Ohio seems to be Safe R because Portman is from there but how in the world is Colorado Safe R?

I understand that Ohio seems to be Safe R because Portman is from there but how in the world is Colorado Safe R?

CO seems like the perfect type of state which would like Romney style and Suburban type Republicanism .
