    538 is still 50/50 because they have a base assumption that it’s too early to tell anything. So the algorithm is pretty hardcoded to read 50/50 for another couple months.

    We have the polling though and his battleground polling absolutely took a hit after the election. For example Biden either needs PA and one other state or all but one if he loses PA. So that’s a pretty hard requirement. He was basically even with Trump in PA the night of the debate. But now that gap is opening up, the wrong way. There are very clear indicators of a an impending catastrophe.
