You shouldn't have these sort of insights while not being American. Get a better hobby dude.
Is 40k a projection of where the vote totals are going to be? Cause totals look higher right now in those states.
Biden leads by 20k in WI, 12k in GA, and 14k in Arizona, although with quite some votes still outstanding, and lately having leaned Trump. So Biden's lead in AZ will end in the range of 10-12k votes. In total, this adds up to around 44k votes.

I don't really care about the messaging... Biden is on track to win in the EC by the same margin as Trump did in 2016
Biden is on track to win the EC and the tipping point states by the same margins as Trump did in 2016 - and back then, Democrats and the liberal media wouldnt shut up about the fact that "Trump only won WI/MI/PA by 80k votes, he doesnt have any mandate, his win was a pure fluke".

, and he's on track to win by a popular vote percentage margin not seen since FDR(if my twitter brethren are correct).
I think they're referring to the margin of absolute votes, not percentage wise. Which is a bogus statistic inflated by this year's huge turnout.
A 5% margin in the popular vote is nothing unusual. Since 1960, half the presidential elections were won by a larger popular vote margin than that (in 64, 72, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96 and 2008).
