Which states should the Biden campaign focus on?

Based on the below map, I'm thinking Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota so they don't slip away as in 16. Plus North Carolina and Florida, maybe Arizona too, as pick ups. Not sure if Georgia and Ohio are realistic.

Any thoughts?

If he wins and we do not get the Senate. It will all be for nothing.

Some regulations can be changed at the agency level but Moscow Mitch, Leningrad Lindsay, Ayn Rand Paul will make the Senate the continues graveyard of legislation.

Help oust Ernst, Collins, etc.

Go into Kentucky and attack McConnel. Go after Graham. Spend time in Texas -- if we could get the state house and prevent gerrymandering there for the next ten years it would be HUGE!.

It needs to be about down balot races and the Presidency or the Rethuglicans will get even better at drawing crooked districts empowered by Kavanaugh et al giving gerrymandering an "uh nope don't see it' to mathematical improbabilities and Moscow Mitch not approving a single federal judge for 2 years.

Dump is toast here.

The shift to Democrats that started in 2018 in MI, will be even stronger this November.

The other key Senate races he needs to help are MT, NC, Alaska (Gross the indy has a shot!), IA (the state itself for POTUS is harder), KS (harder now that Kobach lost the Rethug primary), and the Georgia regular seat.

CO (99%) and AZ (80 to 90%) as Senate flips are almost certainly in our column, but the GA special is probably a lost cause. AL with Jones is gone, as are TN (still so pissed at Tim McGraw for not running for this open seat), TX, and probably KY.

A few days ago I mentioned the hope that Joe would come to Wisconsin, and someone replied by asking me what is wrong with the people in Wisconsin that we need Biden to come here and kiss our collective asses. Had I replied what I was thinking, my post certainly would have been removed so I just stayed quiet. That said, there are a whole lot of Trump/Pence signs around the state, and Joe coming here, talking to people like only Joe can, could help make a difference.

If it were at all humanly possible for the Democrats to drag, say, Wyoming and its miniscule three electoral votes across the finish line, Joe Biden should definitely put in some time there.

Trump gets trillions of dollars-worth of free media just for being a putrid pus-bag. Joe needs some public exposure. Hit all fifty, okay, Joe?
