RCP has stripped President Biden of 15 Electoral Votes. North Carolina has gone pinko after being a light shade of Carolina blue. That leaves the president with only 337 EV’s. Apparently it doesn’t concern him:

Mr. Biden was aware of Ms. Bass’s Castro-era baggage well before it spilled into the news media. He told one longtime friend that her history with Cuba could cause political headaches, though to other people he suggested he did not see it as politically disqualifying — he intended to win the election in the Midwest...even if he were to fall short in Florida.

And you know, he could do that. He could write write off the whole South—Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Texas—but still win the election by taking Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin from Trump. My Krugman-like friend believes just that as the most promising path.
