Trump wins Republican presidential primary in Mississippi

Turnout is going to be high across the board I believe. I don't think people realize how fucking good the Republican ground game is and how well the microtarget voters (especially online). They've been spending a ton of money while the Democratic Primary has been going.

The issue is going to be where Biden increases turnout from 2016. Can he do it in swing states that matter or is it just going to be running up the score in blue states? I could foresee Biden winning by 5-6 million votes and losing the electoral college.

What areas can Biden improve on from Hillary. Youth vote? Fat chance. Suburbs? Probably his best bet. He's crushing in the primary in that area and likely needs to crush Trump there in the general.
