The Biden campaign and other Democrats believe they have several options to get the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win another four years in office. But retaining Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, as well as Nebraska's second congressional district, would clear the threshold no matter what happens in the sunbelt states of Georgia and North Carolina and the Western states of Arizona and Nevada-where polling shows Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, in a much stronger position. (Nebraska and Maine apportion some of their delegates by congressional district.)
