A veteran was recently shocked by reports coming out of the battleground state of Nevada, where it appears a massive wave of early Republican voters could play a decisive role in the election. Based on the latest data, Nevada could vote red in this election cycle, making it the first time since 2004 that the Sun Belt state will have supported a Republican candidate.
According to the Nevada Independent, Republican voters in the state have risen above the Democrats with early voting and mail-in ballots, contrary to past elections. Veteran journalist Jon Ralston noted that as of October 31st, the statewide Republican lead was 42,000 or 4.8 percent. Highlighting the unprecedented lead for Republicans in the state, Ralston wrote, “GOP still looking stronger than ever at this point in an election, with substantial ballot lead.”
The American Tribune recently reported on other strong signs for the Republican Party in Nevada, where former President Trump has momentum in the swing state that GOP has “never seen before.” In late October, one of the most critical counties in the state, Clark County, had a substantial burst in energy for Trump.
Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald explained what is driving the enthusiasm behind former President Trump, stating, “The economy is really big. Obviously, taking care of your families, making sure that you have the right step forward to be able to make a better life for your family.” He added, “So those are issues that when you’re reaching across and talking to people at these rallies, it’s like, ‘are you better off now than you were four years ago?’ That was a key line from Ronald Reagan.”
The Tribune also reported on other positive signs for the Trump-Vance campaign, where data suggests a “blue wall” of battleground states could be collapsing for the Democrats. Renowned Democratic pollster, Doug Schoen said, “The so-called blue wall of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania is eroding for the Democrats.”
Calling out problems with the Harris-Walz campaign, he said, “There is a level of disorganization on the ground, and incoherence, vis-a-vis the messaging that is clear, and what I’m picking up is that the Harris campaign really doesn’t have a closing message or strategy as we, I think, saw in Bret Baier’s interview with Kamala Harris.”
“And there is not a clear sense as to what she’s going to do different than Joe Biden, which, as you point out, close to 60% of America, has made them feel worse off,” he said, continuing to criticize Harris. “She hasn’t articulated a coherent plan, and it’s, frankly, perfectly logical that she would say, different times, different circumstances, different plan. Here’s what I’m doing, here’s what Trump’s doing. Vote for me. She hasn’t done it, and I don’t have a sense, Laura, that she’s going to.”
In the weeks leading up to Election Day, the Trump campaign has surged in the polls, which have historically underestimated former President Trump’s support in the past two elections. As the Harris campaign has struggled in the final stretch, Trump has made various podcast appearances and hosted massive rallies, demonstrating his strength in support.
