Trump's win in 2016 required a perfect storm of circumstances for him to get a narrow Electoral College victory. Rachel Bitecofer: "Trump’s 2016 path to the White House, which was the political equivalent of getting dealt a Royal Flush in poker, is probably not replicable in 2020 with an agitated Democratic electorate". @RachelBitecofer

The mid-term results suggest it will be difficult for Trump to pull this off again (possible, but not certain, or even likely). Maybe most important for the Dems is who is added on the ticket for VP. A person of color might be enough to bring out enough Dem voters (Castro, Harris, Booker, Abrams).
