While millions will still vote for the Republican candidate, perhaps hating immigrants more than they love reproductive rights, the only certainty at this point is that many millions more will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. In the latest ABC News/Ipsos national poll, the Democrat enjoyed a 14% advantage with women over Trump; among women with a college degree, that number rose to 23%; among women voters under 40, it rocketed to 34%.

That, in turn, is causing some MAGA commentators to break from their usual posture of feigned confidence to outright panic.

“Early vote has been disproportionately female,” Charlie Kirk, head of Turning Point USA and helping to lead the Trump campaign’s get-out-the-vote effort, posted on social media. “If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple.”

    Well if early indicators are correct, not only will Kamala win, it’s possible to retake congress.

    To state the obvious… Go Vote, bring your friends, every vote counts. Especially when it comes to down ballot.

      Don’t do that. Don’t give me that kind of hope.

        The Democrats will manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, never fear.

        Don’t worry, even if dems grab a trifecta they still won’t undo enough damage for us to actually progress.

          They’d need consistent wins for the next 50 years to undo the last 70 years of republican policies.

            Depends on the margins. There’s a huge difference between a 50 seat senate win and a 56 seat senate win.

      Early voting is not an accurate prediction of the results of the whole electorate. Very different demographics.

      I had to down vote you for providing me with hope which could lead to mental breakdown if it doesn’t occur. Thank you but no thank you.

      I rather be on the edge and hope people do as well and go vote.
