Summary

Joe predicted 95 days ago that this election would look like 1980, where Jimmy Carter and the Democrats were wiped out behind an unpopular incumbent. Tonight, we'll see if he was right. First, given the chance, will Joe walk his prediction back? Will Election Day turnout really be dominated by Republicans? What states is Joe looking at now that the polls are locked in? Next, Axios reported Trump will declare victory if he looks to be ahead at any point. Joe explains why he's not worried about that, at least from an electoral standpoint. Then, a quick look at the Senate races (including a potential surprise), and Joe's prediction that the Democrats may win big in the Senate. And then, the exact counties Joe will be watching tonight that will have a big hand in dictating what will happen in the election. (List below) Our listener question is about split-ticket voters.

0:00.0	This is reminding me a lot of 1980. We had an unpopular president Jimmy Carter.
