Summary

With Election Day just around the corner, Ravi welcomes back Isaac Saul from Tangle to dive into the final stretch. They discuss voter enthusiasm, how an uptick in turnout among women could impact battleground states like Pennsylvania, and why both campaigns are engaged in a high-stakes battle to control the narrative around election integrity. They then delve into Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally and Biden’s media gaffe and explore how these moments might influence public perception in the crucial final days. Finally, Isaac and Ravi address what each campaign needs to do to secure a victory on November 5 and share their closing predictions.

Welcome to The Lost Debata Show for Politically Ecclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta, and I'm excited to welcome back our friend from Tangle News, Isaac, Saul. If you have not yet, get out there and subscribe and check out their wonderful podcast and YouTube channel. Isaac, we are a few days away from the election. How are you feeling?

0:18.7

tired already somehow? I don't know. Is that an appropriate

0:21.7

answer? Yeah, it's crazy. You know, so much information out there. Everybody's trying to read the tea

0:28.1

leaves. There's the fire hose of election fraud claims already starting up. So I'm busy,

0:34.4

feel underwater, but also excited and energized, ready to be on the other side of this

0:39.1

and get back to some normal work at some point soon, I hope.

0:43.2

You predicted a Trump win. Is that still your prediction today?

0:46.5

I'm still predicting a Trump win. I'd say I hedged that prediction initially by saying

0:54.1

that I think this race is basically a coin flip,

0:57.3

and I feel less confident that Trump is going to win today than I did two weeks ago.

1:03.9

I think there are some encouraging signs for Harris in the final days of the election,

Yeah, I told myself I would make a prediction on Monday because I want to give myself the full

1:17.1

information, which is cheating because voting is already happening while I'm talking.

1:21.9

And I don't care. I don't feel like the audience comes to me for that. But the one thing I did

1:26.7

do to show my cards

1:29.2

is yesterday I purchased Harris on one of the, I used Robin Hood, but like on one of the

1:36.1

prediction markets, because she was selling at 37 cents, that wasn't me saying I think she's

1:41.7

going to win. It just is that I think she has a greater than 37% chance of winning.

1:46.9

And I'd largely base that on like you kind of roll up all the projections. They all seem to agree that it's either a straight up coin flip or slightly favored Trump, but not a 6337, which is what the prediction markets were showing. Yeah, I mean, I also think all we've been

2:04.6

hearing for the last couple weeks is how big the Republican early vote turnout has been, which I think

2:11.3

is both misleading and also is driving a lot of people who are playing in the prediction market in a direction
