It's likely that Sarah Palin was worth a lot to McCain in Alaska (this method would estimate ~6.7 points). Polls had actually shown a close-ish race there before she was chosen. But picking a VP from a big state like say CA or TX or FL likely won't give you that kind of bounce. — PolitiTweet.org

A good rule of thumb is that a VP is worth a net of 20/EV percentage points in their home state, where EV is the number of electoral votes. So, e.g. Pence is worth 20/11 = ~1.8 points to Trump in Indiana. Or Whitmer would be worth 20/16 = ~1.3 points to Biden in Michigan. — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of colleges and universities seem to be expecting fairly strong weather/seasonal effects for COVID-19, often citing the potential for a second wave that might begin in November or December. https://t.co/zb3yMJYFKR https://t.co/2KdpTmnLq7 — PolitiTweet.org
