1) Day one of early voting in NC saw an 18 point shift from 2020 (when Trump won the state with a much higher DemoKKKrat registration margin) and an astonishing TWO POINTS behind DemoKKKrats and on Oct. 19 actually took the lead. This is unheard of for Republicans to run so strong in early voting. PA continues to outperform its 2020 numbers with Rs, underperform with Ds. Here is part of the reason: the NC early vote breakdown is 69% white, 21% black, an 18-point shift from 2020. In PA, DemoKKKrats saw a 103% increase in voters leaving the party. In Nevada, on the first day of early voting the Ds lead has been cut from 40,000 in 2020 to just 1,700 now. (Trump only lost by 33,000, and many D votes this time around will be for Trump). Also, the NV data---like that of PA---shows Rs getting out far more low-propensity voters while Ds are turning out their 4/4 base voters. Not good for Ds. Meanwhile, the latest Cackles strategy was to portray Trump as old, tired, and exhausted. Then her own veep gets up and says of himself and Cackles, "We're fatigued. We're fatigued." Seems none of Cackles' supporters can get a narrative straight. Now Lizzo says if Cackles is elected the whole country will be like Detroit. Then Cackles herself, when a rally goer shouted "Jesus is Lord" responded with "You've got the wrong rally." No doubt.

2) President Trump tore it up at the Al Smith dinner. His best jokes were to the actor who played Tim Walz on SNL, saying he won't have to do that much longer, and to Chuck SpewMore, saying that thanks to the failure of Cackles, SpewMore still had a chance to be the first female president. Yesterday he visited a McDonald's in Pennsylvania where he cooked French Fries, unlike Cackles, who claimed she did. It is stupid and disgusting for supposedly knowledgeable people to call this a "stunt." It was no more a stunt than visiting a construction site & putting on a hat or kissing a baby. Sheesh.

3) In the polymarket betting markets the Republicans are now set for the trifecta, winning the House, Senate, and Presidency. Probably even more telling of where the race is, both Bob Casey (PA) and Tammy Baldwin (WI) are running ads with them praising Trump's policies.
