It’s finally over, and the 2024 presidential campaign made history in at least one ignominious respect: Broadcast evening news coverage of the candidates was the most wildly imbalanced in history, favoring Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over former Republican President Donald Trump by the greatest margin ever recorded.

The Republicans are entering election day with a historic lead in a majority of states, figures show.

This is the first time that registered Republicans have outvoted registered Democrats in more states since at least 2008, with early voting traditionally favoured by Democrats.

Across two-thirds of states that produce early voting data by party, registered Republicans outperformed the Democrats in votes cast.

Google buried the Joe Rogan and Donald Trump interview and despite that, more than 100 million listeners ultimately heard it. The question is, is Google up to its old tricks again?

As millions of working Americans struggle with sky-high inflation, the crushing costs of gas and groceries, open borders, and rampant crime, among other issues, Kamala Harris has leaned on Uber wealthy Hollywood elites to tell them how to vote and who to vote for on Election Day. Indeed, Kamala Harris has spent the final days of her presidential campaign doing much of what she’s done throughout her campaign; relying heavily on those very Hollywood elites, surrounding herself with out of touch celebrities and even ditching a planned appearance in the battleground state of Michigan to play herself opposite Maya Rudolph on NBC’s Saturday Night Live this weekend.

A final look at polling in the seven key swing states that will determine the election

Whatever else one can say about presidential elections involving Donald Trump, they certainly haven’t lacked drama. In 2016, Trump pulled off an upset win over Hillary Clinton, clearing the supposedly unscalable “Blue Wall.” In 2020, as an even bigger underdog, he narrowly lost to Joe Biden, as the wall held—and as Republican-leaning Georgia and Arizona fell. In each case, fewer than 105,000 well-placed votes—a smaller group than have packed a college football stadium—would have swung the election’s outcome. That’s fewer than one in 1,600 of all votes cast, or less than 0.07 percent. It’s a testament to the genius of our system that the Electoral College produced margins of over 70 electoral votes each time, while also avoiding the grisly specter of a nationwide recount. Still, both races went down to the wire.

Among all major voting blocs, only Democrats think the U.S. is headed in the right direction

As most know, reading the tea leaves about who will win an election by looking only at political preference polls can be difficult. Polls jump around, and people often don’t want others to know who they will vote for. But there is a way around that: Ask people how they feel about their own lives. The TIPP Tracking Poll did just that, asking voters how they’re doing under the Biden-Harris administration. Not well, it turns out.
