Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

It can go either way, and if Trump wins it wouldn’t be a surprise, https://www.realclearpolling.com/elections/president/2024/battleground-states

I don't think that much anymore. It's going to get worse for Trump.

The North-Midwest is almost certainly locked up because of Walz. The polling has changed too drastically to be statistically incorrect, and new Democrat voter registration is surging so much, the they have legal reps already starting process in courts to ensure they don't get thrown out at the zero hour as the GOP has been fighting to do.

Pennsylvania has shifted more towards Harris, and it was thought to be Blue this cycle anyway.

Arizona and Nevada are absolutely wild. Cannot tell WTF is going on there, plus the GOP has been fighting to get legit voters removed from rolls like in Texas.

Florida and North Carolina were seeming to be somewhat in play again for Dems, and either one of those don't even count as Swing States anymore. Either of them turn for Harris, and it's almost certainly a win.

The cherry on top is RFK stealing Trump votes in swing states

Huh? He dropped

Robinson is doing all he can to make both him and Trump lose NC. I don't see him getting out of his own way. Just hope the split vote here doesn't stay the same as the last few elections....

I'm seeing it about the same way. Over 60 days to go and Harris has enlarged the map. Trump has.to spend resources he doesn't have to remain competitive. His only way out will be a hail Mary.
