The assassination attempt was bound to happen, given the rhetoric from the other side: that Trump is an “existential threat,” that the GOP was turning into Hezbollah, that Trump is a fascist who will open up camps and never leave office.
Mind you, those allegations are coming from the liberal mainstream – the Hezbollah comment, for example, was published in The Washington Post. More recently, the Washington Post compared Trump to Hitler.
Say those things long enough, and your supporters will start to believe it. And if they believe it they might just act on it.

Latest Quinnipiac University Poll -
Trump leads in Michigan (3%) and Wisconsin (2%); Trump behind 3% in Pennsylvania.
We see the Pennsylvania race closer - but Quinnipiac, to their credit, admits that Kamala's support in PA (and elsewhere) is slipping.
Key quote: "The Harris post-debate starburst dims to a glow as Harris enters the last weeks slipping slightly in the Rust Belt."
Notable - Trump wins independents in all three states.
Momentum is shifting.

It turns out that latest Trump accuser was an Obama fundraiser and a Democrat donor.
And the reporter pushing the allegations is the same reporter who pushed a 2020 October surprise "sexual assault" - again, from a Democrat.
What are the odds?

Nevada -
Republicans maintain an early vote lead by 42,000 votes (4.8 percent).
Lots of unknowns, but this from a moderate/liberal Nevada pundit is important: "GOP still looking stronger than ever at this point in an election, with substantial ballot lead."

Election 2024: The Day Before
Reasons for Optimism
Miami Dade went to Biden +7% in 2020.
At 12:30pm EST, Republicans are up on Democrats by nearly 32,000 votes. (Not counting independents.)
Democrats in Miami Dade aren't showing up in big numbers for election day voting - Republicans lead them by ~1,500 votes.
It's only one county out of thousands, but it suggests that Kamala has a serious enthusiasm problem.

Another example from Florida - this time Broward County.
In 2020, Democrats had 274,000 votes by mail.
In 2024, it was down to 145,000.
We've seen the same in Arizona and Pennsylvania - Democrat early voting numbers are way down. Things are looking good for Republicans if Democrats don't turn it around with election day turnout.
