Bloomberg is spending hundreds of millions in the general election effort in the these states, six states won my Trump isn 2016. Democrats must defend in MN, CO and NV.
Taking back PA, MI, and WI and keeping MN, CO and NV is enough to win. AZ is a replacement for WI or MN if the Democrats can win there.
WHICH DEMOCRAT CAN WIN IN THE RUST BELT?
IMO, there are two tickets that have a good chance of winning the rust belt: Biden-Klobuchar and Bloomberg-Klobuchar. The ticket would need, and would get, the support of the Obama's in the black communities, especially in Detroit and Philadelphia. I would expect Steyer to agains spend the money he did in 2018. The focus of his money is likely to be on House races, but he would help the ticket by focusing in other states than Bloomberg is focusing.
Of course, Trump is looking forward to running head-to-head against Sanders or Warren in the Rust Belt. He may very well get his wish.
