Is that I don't think this is like 2016 or 2020 in that Biden needs a popular vote margin of several million votes to win the EC. The swing states seem more favorable to him than that this time. I'm not necessarily saying he can lose the popular vote but win the Electoral College, but I don't believe he needs to win by several percentage points either.
