Showing Original Post only (View all)Al Franken/Sherrod Brown ticket in 2020 is a dream ticket for Democrats. [View all]
Both are strong progressives from battleground states in the Midwest.
This ticket can win all of the Clinton 2016 states plus
FL-29 (261ev)
PA-20 (281ev)
OH-18 (299ev)
MI-16 (315ev)
WI-10 (325ev)
These states except OH are states Trump won in 2016 by a less than 2 percent margin.
