Biden will be a fucking hero if they actually pull this off.

Kamala still trails the generic ballot candidate. Biden ended up winning several districts that voted R for Congress tho.
People also better keep checking their voter status as the weeks go by. I fully believe Republicans would ramp up voter purging in desperate acts.
Ohio purged 155k just the other day and i would venture to guess the larger % of them were dems
The energy here feels similar to the halcyon days of 2016.
The source I see right now is Anthony Scaramucci's Twitter so judge that veracity as you will, but he says the RNC has shut down its field offices across the whole country. The speculation is that the Trump team doesn't plan to win at the ballot.
That seems a bit farfetched
Not really. They are already planning to challenge in several states if the result is close and you would expect eventually take it to SCOTUS.

But I don't think they have fully given up on winning it. The offices are closed because they are outsourcing the field work
The reason this is so exciting to me specifically is that the enthusiasm drives turnout.
And turnout is literally the most important possible thing, way more important than flipping "swing voters"
There are several states in the US that are literally only red because of turnout. Texas, Florida, NC, Ohio..
If you had >70% turnout in those states, all of them would be blue. Yes, even Texas.
Republicans only win races when the people don't show up. If we have a turnout that matches the level of enthusiasm within the Dem base right now, Trump is 100% fucked.
Trump surprise news conference today. Seems like a team just showed up and got a surprise All Hands dropped on their calendar.
I wonder what it will be! JD must be sweating

Trump's campaign says it's 'not going to talk about couches'
Lmao that counts
yo this press conference lmao
The pivot should be 'OK, we will focus on talking about real things' then show clip after clip of Trump saying terrible things. You're a sucker if you join the military, I'm going to be a dictator, blathering rambling old guy nonsense...make them wish for the days of couch fucking JD Vance jokes.
I got through the part where he brings up Walz a few minutes and and can’t think of anything to say and forgot the word for “vice president” and just called him “man”, and then went on to describe his political agenda as “uh.. things… that are bad”, straight into a tangent about trans people and the border.
It’s disturbing to me anyone can watch this man speak and not get the distinct impressions he knows fuck all and just circles back to buzz word topics when he’s floundering.
Unemployed minors was a bit on the nose.
