Summary

Chris Cuomo breaks down the high stakes of this upcoming election and why voter enthusiasm could be the key to victory. With data from Gallup, he explores the impact of grievance-driven enthusiasm, the role of undecided voters, and how both Trump and Harris are vying for control of the narrative. Cuomo emphasizes the importance of understanding the motivations behind voter excitement as a key predictor in this tight race, diving deep into voter issues like reproductive rights and economic concerns, and explaining why two seemingly contradictory motivations can drive both sides of the electorate.
