Early Voting Indicates That Donald Trump Is Cruising To Victory

Posted on October 22, 2024 by Luke Ford

Mark Halperin: “If these early vote numbers stay the way they are, we will know before election day who will win… We’ll know Donald Trump is going to be president by election day. Republican over-performance in early voting [is more important than the polls]. If this continues, Republicans can’t lose.”

Sean Spicer: “The data is almost too good to be true.”

A key theme of Mark Halperin’s reporting over the past two months is that Republican pros are increasingly confident that Trump will win while no key Democrats are confident that Kamala will win.

Republicans in Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina are giddy.
