Democrats need at least some swing voters in 2020

It looks like they have a head start with a substantial number of them

What to do when your base is not enough

The Takeaway: It is still unclear whether Democrats will have a turnout advantage—mainly meaning that their constituent black voters will cast ballots at higher rates than whites—in the 2020 election next year. Without a candidate that possesses Barack Obama’s unique ability to simultaneously talk about black issues and court working class whites, it seems unlikely that they will. Of course, this could change. If it does not, Democrats will need to win at least some votes among swing voters, especially in the Midwest. This means appealing to working class whites. Luckily for them, the results of the 2018 midterms and recent public opinion polling provide for cautious optimism for Democrats.
