    Harris has decided to campaign in Texas, Florida, and Kentucky in the last thirteen days. She will not win those three states but might save some Democrats.

    He he wins the White House, Republicans flip the senate... I think that is probably, as we sit here right now, fifteen days out, the most likely scenario that it is a narrow, narrow, narrow Trump win

    They also pick up maybe the Michigan senate seat Okay. As well. It's a narrow gap. Mike Mike Rogers wins the open seat there.

    But this is not what a winning campaign does in the last twelve days of the campaign... Harris is giving up trying to win the White House... It signals the presidential race is all but over.

    So a week ago, I said I thought the election held today was Trump... But my gut now is that she's gear shift. And if you put a gun to my head and I couldn't wiggle away or get you to shoot Axelrod instead, I would predict her now.

    that third horse usually pulls ahead and wins. And it kinda feels like that's what's happening right now... It feels like Trump is that third horse, and he's he's pulling forward... And he's moved into the first position.
