Assuming this is a question about year-round ranges: Continental climate says Nope. You need oceanic/maritime-ruddered climates for that, not to be found in the middle of the North American continent.
Regarding 95 degrees. It was in the context of low humidity that it’s tolerable. For me, if it’s cool at night through noon with low humidity than 95 in the afternoon is fine. It’s almost always breezy here which keeps you more comfortable as well.
Wyoming was similar while we camped in various locales. Cool, even freezing, at night warming up to the high 90’s with wind in the afternoon. Wyoming feels more raw and unforgiving with its weather overall, it’s got some real extremes going on.
I felt miserable at 85 degrees with humidity in South Dakota, the warm nights gave me no relief while camping near Mt Rushmore. Of course, I’m used to a very dry climate.
Atlanta is at a very low latitude, good thing it has plenty of trees and shade, because the sun angle there is brutal.
Did you read the article and look at the maps I was referring to?
For the Eastern U.S., the Atlanta Region sits at a high altitude - nearly 1,100 feet above sea level. This is has moderating effect on the temperatures compared to adjacent regions. This is why the "Lousy Map" had a shade of lighter green for less lousy days over the Atlanta Region.

Yes, I did see the article and map, I think they're putting additional weight on temperature combined with clouds. Atlanta can be cloudier than other places, however, the milder overall climate winner would go to the mountains in north Georgia and western North Carolina.

I’m strictly going by the map and the criteria in the link—I’m not adding any other stuff in! (And you shouldn’t be either.)

Yep, the humid continental climate is no joke, you get the worst of both extremes, hot and humid summers and cold and frigid winters!
Of course, depending on the year, you might get a mild winter/summer thrown in there now and then, but on average, expect both temperature extremes due to the fact you are nowhere near an ocean.

Not necessarily, especially if you live downwind of a Great Lake. You can’t avoid the humidity but certain areas like the Lake Michigan shoreline have pretty mild summers. Traverse City for example only has one month that cracks 80 for an average high. I wouldn’t call that extreme at all. Winters on the other hand are an entirely different matter.
