Well, folks, believe it or not, we are now in the home stretch of the 2024 election.

0:04.7

Both the RNC and the DNC have taken place.

0:08.2

We are still sort of awaiting word as to how much of a convention bounce Kamala Harris received after the DNC

0:14.3

or how much of a reverse bounce Donald Trump then received after RFK Jr.'s endorsement on Friday.

0:20.3

Suffice it to say that the race is extremely close.

0:22.7

You've seen a little bit of national polling suggesting that Kamala Harris has jumped into a fairly solid lead, six or seven points.

0:28.5

But that is not durable polling at this point in time yet.

0:31.5

We have to see how everything sort of settles out, how it shakes out.

0:34.7

Right now in the real clear politics polling average, Kamala Harris,

0:43.0

has about a one and a half point lead in the Nate Silver expectation in terms of popular which is about a four point lead. In the states, however, this thing is absolutely tight as a

0:47.7

tick. We are talking about a dead heat in pretty much every state. The following states are all

0:52.3

within two percentage points in the polling average,

0:55.0

according to real clear politics, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina,

1:00.2

and Georgia. Remember, just for the sake of the map, in order for Donald Trump to win,

1:04.8

he has to win North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and then one of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, or Michigan.

1:11.9

That's what he has to win in order to take the presidency back from the Democrats.

1:16.3

In order for the Democrats to win, they can lose North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada,

1:22.6

as long as they hold Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

1:24.8

So again, most of this comes down to the blue wall. If they pick up any of those other states, good indicator that Kamala Harris will, in fact, be the next president of the United States. But all of these polls are basically dead heats. Wisconsin is a one-point game in favor of Kamala Harris. Again, that's within margin of error. Pennsylvania is a dead heat Trump plus point two. Michigan, Harris plus two Arizona Trump plus 0.2. Nevada, Trump plus 1.4. North Carolina, Trump plus 0.9. And Georgia, Trump plus 1. These are very, very tight numbers. Now, here's the thing. We may have hit the high watermark for Kamala Harris. This is the point that I was making last week. She has now gone. Got to update the timer. Got to update the clock. Here we go. You ready? 37 days without answering a single serious question about, you know, defenestrating her boss and then taking over. And about the fact she's been vice president for the past three and a half years. And why exactly she's not running as the incumbent? Why is she running away from her own record at this point?

2:20.6

37 days, which is absolutely sickening and disgraceful. What we just watched is one of the most jaw-droppingly historic moments in American history where the sitting president and the nominee of the major party is completely supplanted by a person who has won

2:35.0

zero, count them zero primary votes. And then no one asks a single thing about this person's

2:41.0

positions. In fact, they run screaming from having to answer any questions about this person's
