Letter to the editor:

Democrats’ path to 270 is clear

House Democrats are scattered all over the political horizon, but this does not guarantee the re-election of President Donald Trump in 2020.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost with 224 electoral votes — 46 shy of the necessary 270 that clinches the presidency. If a Democrat like former Vice President Joe Biden runs and wins three blue-collar states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin — plus the states Clinton won, the Democrats have the White House. Biden can do that easily. These are states that Trump barely won.
