    Trump takes all the Sun Belt states. He takes North Carolina. He takes Georgia. I think both those are very likely.

    And then you get to the Rust Belt states. I think Trump... You ready for this? I think Trump's gonna win all of them. ... Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, those states look more like Ohio than they do like Virginia

    As far as West Virginia, that, of course, the senate seat that that is going to go to the Republicans, that that would be Jim Justice, who's gonna win that senate seat pretty easily.

    I think Eric Hovde, who's the senatorial candidate in Wisconsin who is running extremely strong in Wisconsin right now, I think Hovde wins that race.

    There's certain states that I didn't give to Trump in this map. I didn't give Trump Virginia. Virginia is trending blue. It is not trending red.

    Georgia, of course, a big swing state. I think that one is in Trump's camp. I think he's going to win that.

    But based on the trend lines of early voting and the behaviors of the campaigns, I think Trump still has the edge. Again, as I noted yesterday, he has many more paths to 270 votes than she does

    I think the death of a famous animal in this country, I don't... Predicts a Trump victory... Harambe cut down in his prime, and then Donald Trump becomes president of The United States. I think we're gonna see that again.

    we've got a big senate race in Indiana with Jim Banks who's likely to become a next senator there. Not a pickup opportunity, but absolutely vitally important that Republicans do well there... we expect to win this thing
