Quote of the Day
“I think they feel very uncomfortable right now. They need to be higher. Biden won by over 4 percent, and that was a close race in three of the battleground states. Out of the 160 million, the election was decided by 44,000 votes—12,000 of those were in Arizona and Georgia, and 20,000 were in Wisconsin.”
Tara Palmeri from Puck.news in an interview with McLaughlin mentioned Trump being under-polled and asked "If you were Harris’s team, what margin would you feel comfortable with?"
