Chump has kicked a few goals in a row to get a good lead, while Harris needs a bake at half-time and has to lift.
I'd never really thought of this before, but this is an indication of the weirdness of the electoral college system.
I'm watching MSNBC, and they just said that in California, there are 7m people that do not vote, similarly in New York state, there are another 7m people that do not vote. Just as a gauge thats about 4% of the entire population of the US in these 2 states. They swing so hard to the Dems, that these people don't vote because simply their vote doesn't matter as most of these would vote in line with the state, but these are millions of votes that would further separate the republicans and the dems in the popular vote. Its a very strange system when you can win the popular vote by 3-4m (which will probably occur), potentially if these non-voters had voted thats probably another 3-4m swing in the popular vote, but it would have zero effect on the actual outcome of the Presidential election.

he's already nearly at 200. Only needs another 70 and he's home. We can all see him getting there. America just love abusive men
I'm not saying Harris is going to win, but s far as I can see all the called states were never in dispute, and the swing states are to early to call.
It was below $1.20 4 years ago before the blue wave hit. But i must admit Trump is doing better than what I thought. There is no chance of a landslide. its going to be very tight.
working class Hispanic voters it seems
republicans treating that group as just another bunch of working class people
Latinos a) historically do not respond to identity politics and b) swing hard
ethnicity now less important than education. shame, as stifling education has long been a republican tactic.

If that's to do with the Latinos expected to vote against him, how the hell is New Mexico at 50-50?
