Guys…..
One last time….
The Republicans early voting numbers are not any higher than they were in 2020. They are right at the same level. Maybe a little higher. Maybe a little lower. But we are talking 1-2% points either way….
...
The support and enthusiasm for Trump is at an all time high. The party is as unified as it has been since the days of Reagan…. Why would there be any reason to believe his vote totals are going to be lower????
I am right there with you boss and have said so a few times.
I really do think that Trump is going to be right back around his 2020 mark of 74 million, which was a huge turnout.
The Dems, however, really took advantage of the Covid harvesting and there is no way they can repeat. Harris will fall back to Dem numbers of 2012 and 2016 in the mid to high 60s.
I do think the Dem base has grown since then and a good candidate could have competed with Trump in the mid 70 million mark.
Kamalas only hope was to slightly outperform Hillary and hope that Trump's support came way down from 2020. That just not what has happened in polling or EV data.
