Sabato also said “turnout is critical, and if you can increase turnout in either party using mail-in ballots, then you’ll do it. The Republicans are trying to do that in Florida.” Related: Some analysts attributed Monday’s selloff for U.S. stocks&nbsp;in part to the over the election and another coronavirus aid package.The historian who is known affectionately as the granddaddy of presidential prediction models says Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden is a shoo-in to win the 2020 presidential race.
