[SamAndreas]

Today it begins, Kamala has reached the point that she's the Democratic Party nominee:

There's video from today. this link has video from her first public appearance since Biden endorsed her:

She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

They want to keep you on the edge of your seat, and glued to the show - so yeah they are definitely screwing with you. I turned them all off. Better for my blood pressure, lol.

Lol, I actually kind of like it. I'd love a landslide easy victory, but I kinda dig the drama myself. I know what's real enough.

lol, nope not me. I want to go to bed and sleep secure in a victory.

And funny enough, Fox is projecting Ohio to Trump. I wonder what data they're relying on.

Feels equivalent to a Saints playoff game.. oh what that was like..

I see. My point was not that I expected anything different, just that it's a foolish and useless thing to do. It's bad journalism, regardless of motivation.

Yes, i agree that it is terrible journalism.

We shouldn't allow capitalism to run the information industry, it values popular information with target demographics over accurate information.

It's a pretty sturdy limb tbh

VA to Harris. People online still saying she has PA, and NC is looking very good. She already has the one EV out of NE, so if she carries PA and NC, I don’t think Trump has a realistic path.

I sincerely hope you are right. I am trying not to watch the early returns. This psychosis has to end.

HuffPost has called Ohio and North Carolina for Trump.

He's at 204 on their board

I hope I’m right also. I’m not looking at the boards either just reading Twitter.

CNN still holding out on Ohio. Buy I'm not terribly shocked. Trump carried Ohio in 2020. Harris just needs to hold serve on the states Biden won.

Virginia seems a bit worrisome at the moment? (Invitation for someone to tell me I'm wrong)

Lots of outstanding early votes. It is closer than 2020. Still only st 50% total votes in.

Trump carried Miami Dade… it continues a trend but it’s not good

 

[MT15]

GA on track to go slightly better for Harris than it did for Biden

I’m reading that a whole lot of MAGA people have moved to FL, plus the Cubans are very conservative.

FL is evidently just lost to the red side, getting redder while other states shift to bluer.

 

[samiam5211]

feels like 2016...

Only hope is that turnout overall is much higher than expected overall (although we probably already know if that is the case), so the rural areas coming in early makes it seem like Trump is overperforming, but it is just because of the skewed sample, and she will make it up in the cities when those votes are totaled.

It’s the Cuban vote. They are very anti-authoritarian.

NC is so strange... a (D) got elected governor, but it seems trump will maybe win the state
