Looks like Trump has won Florida.
Kamala needs to do really well in the rust belt to pull this off.
Remember when Florida was a swing state?
What happened demographically?
Trump doing a lot better with Latinos across the board, also gaining with Blacks, and ironically losing with some White demographics (Boomers, suburban).
Plan C will involve Jamie Raskin and the certification of the election.bearister said:

Trump also had less white male voters in 2020 compared to 2016.
Missed that.

Not really.
Trump is doing what he needs to do to win.
Harris +3 in Scranton. Joe was +8. She hasn't overperformed anywhere really. She doesn't need to but if Trump overperforms everywhere, like he seems to be doing, he will be President.
The exit polls are not good with a majority of first time voters saying they voted for Trump which is quite surprising.
In the last election, it was the absentee ballots counted later that changed the early results and they were predicted to be (and were) largely Democrat.
Does anyone know how those were tabulated this time?
In terms of absentee/mail in ballots, there is a variation. In some states, those are counted ahead of time/first. in others last. But the biggest difference is that in 2020, the dems had a MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE advantage in the number of mail in votes, mostly because Trump stupidly told his voters not to use them.
This time, the republicans also went all in on collecting mail in votes, particularly in Penn, Arizona and Nevada. There won't be the same mail in surge for dems, which is why the NY Times and others will make a call if the margin remains wide for Trump.
I said right in my post that Trump is overperforming
Latino men are breaking for Trump by a 10-point margin (54-44), according to the NBC News Exit Poll. In 2020, Biden won them by a 23-point margin (59-36).

Harris is up 25 points with Latino women, down from Biden’s 39-point advantage in 2020.

The margin is too wide this time around.

Scheming?
Yes, we understand that's what many on the board believe. I'm saying in a national election where most people aren't political junkies like us on this thread it more or less comes down to my characterizationdimitrig said:

You are blind to to the fact (and it is a fact) that lots of people simply don't see it this way. Many people view Harris/Dems as the more dangerous and authoritarian threat.dimitrig said:tequila4kapp said:dimitrig said:

It isn't that Trump is unlikeable. He is dangerous.
He can't tell fact from fiction. He has no respect for the institutions in this country. He gives power to anyone who kisses his ass no matter the consequences. He is a terrible judge of character. He admires America's enemies.
Does Elon Musk get to do anything he wants now?
I am glad I live in California both because I am more insulated from his crap and also because I can't imagine living in a place surrounded by people who think it is a good idea to vote a twice-impeached criminal octogenarian into the highest office in the land AFTER witnessing what happened the FIRST TIME!
Here's my take: there's been kind of an anti-inbumbency wave across most of the liberal democracies in recent years and the Democrats this time just couldn't swim against that tide. Looked like it might happen because Trump is not a very popular figure, but not quite.dimitrig said:tequila4kapp said:Yes, we understand that's what many on the board believe.

Did they see what he did to Roe v. Wade?
Did they see January 6th?
Aren't they tired of him being part of every news cycle for the last four years? Do people really want to see MORE of him? Why isn't there any Trump fatigue? I can't wait until he dies and I hope it is soon so that we never have to hear about him again.
We know what Trump did in office. Why not see what someone else (R or D) has to offer?
What about Trump appeals to low income uneducated white people and why are there so many of those people in America to begin with?
Either side can still win, but here’s what turned out to be bullshit - a Kamala Harris landslide. I knew I shouldn’t have believed all the optimistic Democrats who were buried in their delusional bubble. Here’s a lesson Democrats will never learn - people hate the establishment!

I suspect Biden or another Dem nominee probably would have gotten caught in the same wave, short of some kind of extraordinarily charismatic guy like Obama.
