Trump won the 2016 election despite ceding the popular vote to Clinton by a margin of nearly three million.

"The nation's two most populous states, California and Texas, are at the heart of Democrats' geography problem," Wasserman wrote in an NBC News analysis."Both behemoths are growing more diverse at a much faster rate than the nation — owing to booming Asian and Latino populations — and are trending towards Democrats. Yet neither California nor red Texas would play a pivotal role in a close 2020 election, potentially rendering millions of additional Democratic votes useless.

"A strategy rooted in racial polarization could at once energize parts of the president's base and rebuild support among wavering white working-class voters," Cohn wrote."Many of these voters backing Mr. Trump in the first place in part because of his views on hot-button issues, including on immigration and race.

Other 2020 Democrats have previously called for abolishing the electoral college. For example, Senator Elizabeth Warren has supported a constitutional amendment to repeal it and Washington Governor Jay Inslee has encouraged the idea of using an interstate compact to make the electoral college functionally obsolete.
