Trump Maintains Slight Edge in Fox News Power Rankings, but Biden Can Win by Holding Rust Belt States

Former President Trump holds a slight lead over President Biden in the latest Fox News Power Rankings, with 251 electoral college votes to Biden’s 241. The race remains highly competitive, with four toss-up states (Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada) and four other competitive states (Michigan, Minnesota, Georgia, and North Carolina). Trump leads in the battleground states, particularly in the Sun Belt states, while Biden holds a modest advantage on abortion policy. Trump’s consistent leads may be due to his inroads with young, Hispanic, and Black voters. Biden’s vulnerabilities include high prices, increased illegal immigration, and his age. Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District could be a critical factor in determining the outcome if the race ends in a 269-269 electoral college tie.
