HERE is all you really need to know about the 2020 presidential election: The electoral fate of President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden will be determined by white women and black men in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
In 2016 Candidate Trump won Pennsylvania by just 44,292 votes, securing 2,970,733 votes to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's 2,926,441. Candidate Trump's Wisconsin margin of victory was even slimmer at 22,748 (he received 1,405,284 votes, to Mrs Clinton's 1,382,536). And in Michigan, he got 2,279,543 votes to her 2,268,839 - or just over 10,700 votes more.
The bottom line was that Mrs Clinton lost in 2016 by very narrow margins in traditionally so-called "blue" Democratic states that former Democratic President Barack Obama had captured by comfortable margins both in 2008 and in 2012.
