really close here too.... trump leading in many polls that he wasnt leading in 2020... Dems like to stick their head in the sand and just because trump is x..y..z.. Harris will just walk to a victory.... 2024 is a different animal and MI, PA and OHIO and WI are flippable.
Let's hear what Donald thinks of blacks. Trump went on furious N-word tirade after car incident: nephew's new book https://www.rawstory.com/trump-n-word-2668806723/ According to a new memoir from Fred C Trump III, nephew of Donald Trump, his uncle went on a furious tirade in the '70s after a car he owned was vandalized, repeatedly using the N-word when pointing to the damage. In reports from both the Guardian and the Daily Beast, in the book titled, "All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way," the younger Trump recalled the former president ranting, "'N—s,’ I recall him saying disgustedly. ‘Look what the ‘N—s,’ did.'” The book, to be released Tuesday, comes at a poor time for the ex-president as he now appears to be poised to run against Vice President Kamala Harris who is the presumptive Democratic nominee. In his book, Fred Trump III remembers his uncle showing up in his “cotillon white Cadillac Eldorado convertible' with a “giant gash, at least two feet long [and] another, shorter gash next to it" in the soft top. According to the reports, the younger Trump wrote in his book that his uncle used the ugly racist slurs and recalled “I knew that was a bad word," before adding that his uncle didn't see who had slashed his car, but still, "...saw the damage, then went straight to the place where people’s minds sometimes go when they face a fresh affront. Across the racial divide.” This is not the first time that the now-convicted felon Trump has been accused of resorting to using the N-word. In 2018, CBS reported there is a tape of Trump blurting out the offensive slur obtained from "Omarosa Manigault-Newman and that on it Katrina Pierson and Lynne Patton, two black Trump aides, are heard to discuss the incident."

The dynamic at play is that where states are flippable, Kamala is one of the least qualified to try to appeal to both moderate republicans and independents. Strange as it may sound, the girl has never run a real race against a real republican threat. In California, her real opponents were all dems. So a dem on dem campaign is vastly different than trying to figure out how to reach out to republican voters. Next. She ran in a dem primary. But, again, that was a dem on dem competition. No need to press the edges of how much you will moderate to get independent and republican votes. In fact that hurts you in a dem primary. Yes. Those states are flippable. And, yes, she walks into those states with a campaign style and mindset as though she is back in California running a race, just as she has always done before. Not a good combination. Dems will argue, well ya, but she made it to be VP. True. But she was simply chosen for that position and was able to bypass her the fact that she is unelectable. And now she has once again, bypassed a dem primary and was chosen to be the nominee after a coup. Not sure she can duplicate that in the final election.
Young voter registration spikes to record numbers in 48 hours after Harris takes helm New voter registration spiked to record levels in the first 48 hours after president Joe Biden ended his presidential campaign. The nonpartisan Vote.org website saw its highest level of new voter registrations of the 2024 election cycle in the first two days after Biden dropped out and endorsed vice president Kamala Harris, with 38,500 people signing up – a 700 percent spike, reported Politico Playbook. That's even higher than when Taylor Swift made an Instagram post urging her fans to register, Playbook noted, and most of the new registrations came from voters who are 34 years old or younger. Vote.org, the largest get-out-the-vote technology platform in the nation, hopes to register 8 million voters before November's election and reports that 500,000 have already registered this cycle, including a record number of 18-year-old new voters. Nearly 80 percent of Democratic voters favor the 59-year-old Harris taking over the party's nomination from the 81-year-old Biden, according to a new poll conducted by YouGov for CBS News, and found only 21 percent favored nominating someone else. The poll also found 45 percent of Democratic voters felt better about the party's chances of defeating Donald Trump in November with Harris instead of Biden atop the ticket.
