Kasich's camp definitely didn't want this news leaking now, they wanted to save it closer to the convention, but the cat is out of the bag. Word is that the Biden campaign is trying to bring in a handful more anti-Trump Republicans to endorse Biden. I'm hoping that Romney comes out and endorses Biden, I don't think he will, I think he'll just be non-committal and he'll vote again for his wife in November, but I do think it'd have a small but meaningful impact.
Right now, Biden seems to be running away with the core swing states -- PA, MI, WIS -- which is enough for an electoral college majority. But, with coronavirus and the president alleging he won't accept the results, we kind of need a blowout to really knock Trump out decisively especially with mail in ballots likely slowing results down... Florida, Ohio, Arizona, North Carolina. Biden leads in all of those states, but narrowly. Add Iowa and Alaska into play. Toss in Texas and Georgia as in play. Those states are all within the margin of error, and all you need is to peel a percent or two away from Trump and suddenly ~10-20 more EC votes flip over to Biden and a bunch of really narrow state wins, 1% or 2% end up combining to form this insurmountable looking electoral college victory. You know Trump is going to challenge the results in Florida, Ohio, and other close states, but the more of those he has to challenge the more insurmountable it looks.
