Democrats in the critical must-win state of Florida are panicking at the lead Republicans have taken in in-person early voting in Miami-Dade County, a usually reliable blue bastion.
Democrats and Progressives in the traditionally solid blue Miami-Dade County are in a panic as early voting results indicate a spike for Republicans at the polls. Early in-person voting in the south Florida Democrat stalwart sees Republicans in the lead.
While Democrats are up overall in Miami-Dade County, when early in-person voting is isolated and analyzed it reveals Republicans are leading. This uptick in early Republican voters in a county that has consistently turned out overwhelmingly blue numbers has many Democrat analysist concerned.
Trump supporters are expected to turn out in heightened numbers on Election Day across the country, including in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in Florida.
Kevin Cate, a self-anointed former spokesman for Barack Obama, expressed his concerned about it on Twitter and was open about it not being a good sign for Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Im concerned about Democratic turnout in Miami-Dade. This is an evergreen concern, but still, he tweeted.
Ned Ryun, the founder and CEO of American Majority, tweeted, As of this morning, Republicans are winning the early voting in Miami-Dade County, Florida by roughly 3,000 votes. For perspective, Hillary Clinton won that county by 30 pts in 2016 and still lost the state
Rasmussen Reports, one of the polling institutions that got the numbers right in 2016, has President Trump ahead of Joe Biden in Florida 49 percent to 46 percent. Florida is a critical swing state that holds 29 all-important Electoral College votes as its prize.
President Trump has been urging his supporters to vote in-person projecting a wariness about mail-in voting and the vulnerabilities it presents for voter fraud. If Miami-Dade is any indication, the Presidents supporters are taking his direction.
are Rs leading or not.
It says both in the same article in the first few paragraphs.
Forget mail in and early and blah blah, are Rs WINNING the area?
Sounds like a lot of double talk to be honest.
And a “SELF ANNOINTED” for rep for obama is quoted.
Wow...that there is strong evidence.
Thank God in 5 days we’ll know and all this crap will be over
Fingers crossed!!
I think he still wins without AZ if he gets every other state he had in 2016. We’ll see soon enough. I’m trying not to be nervous. Even though a lot of polls don’t look so good, many, if not most, signs on the ground are good.
Nixon won MN in 1972..
He lost the by 45,000 votes, 1.5%. He will make that up this time by taking the Iron Range, he will do a few percentage points better in the Twin Cities thanks to the riots and the small towns and rural counties will turn out ever more so for President Trump.
In the case of Minn (2016)...if you add in the serious amount of Libertarian votes (that won’t happen this time), and the McMuffin character (he’s not around either)...then toss in the ‘defund-the-police’ anger going on...I’d give Trump a 200k vote lead in Minn by the end. A lot of frustration still left brewing over the riots, looting and BLM activity.
“Sorry but MN is a pipe dream, Reagan couldnt even win.”
Trump would have had MN last election if the Libertarians hadn’t flipped it to Clinton, along with NH, NV, ME and CO. Libertarians hopefully won’t do as much damage this time.
Iron country is turning way Republican.
I think PA is moving toward Trump, between the riots and oil.
“I am scared.”
I’m not saying it’s in the bag, because I don’t think it is. But I also think Trump still has a decent chance of winning. Try not to let it bring you down, and if you are a person of faith...pray.
What does anyone really expect? Biden is running a weaker campaign that Hillary did in 2016 and she lost.
The only reason Reagan didn’t was because Mondale was from MN.
Yes, indeed!
No one wins the presidency without winning either Ohio or Fl.
Yes the R are leading in in person voting cutting into the mail in voting lead of the Democrats. Last year they had an 85thousand advantage when election day came around. This year, the GOP may actually be ahead on election day with total early votes.
Trump is ahead in AZ, he is going to win all of his 2016 States.
Reagan did not campaign in Minnesota in 1984. He did not want to embarrass Mondale by winning his home state.
He has more then a decent chance of winning, he is going to win and win in a wave election.
Every Democrat mayor in the Iron range has endorsed Trump.
Real question - If we are having such good early voting and mail in ballot results, how does that not cannibalize our Election Day numbers? Not looking to get flamed. I would like a reasoned explanation.
