    Biden's final comment about fracking/the oil industry really scared me tbh. Wish he wouldn't have said that.

    Unlikely that it matters, especially this late in the race. Biden campaign has a much bigger war chest which they’re gonna hammer away with ads + Obama going around the country. COVID cases are rising across rural America. Trump will probably have ~10-15% chance to win this thing come Election Day which is something but significantly less likely than the chance he had in 2016 (28%). To put this in perspective: flipping a coin 3 times & getting heads 3 times in a row has about a 12.5% chance of happening.

    Of course this is all assuming fair[ish] & free elections. Voter suppression isn’t taken into account in election models. So you could argue Trump’s actual probability of winning is higher depending on the degree of voter suppression & in which states.

    right that last part is the key, and the reasons that Dems should be nervous (not that they weren't already)

    Biden attacking the oil industry will surely hurt him. Especially in states he needs the most.

    edit: just realized i said “fracking” instead of “oil” in my original post

    Oil companies aren't going to frack and f--- up the local environment to lose $10+ for every barrel they produce... so the point is moot.
