Should coffee giant Starbucks really be worried about backlash over its former CEO Howard Schultz potentially ruining the Democrats’ chances of taking down Donald Trump in 2020?

“It just so happens that those Democrats are most heavily concentrated in the urban areas and coastal states where Starbucks does the bulk of its business,” Bloomberg reports. “Almost 7 of 10 Starbucks stores are in the roughly 500 counties Democrat Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election, a Bloomberg analysis of data from location intelligence firm Esri shows.”
