Lose Pennsylvania!
He lost New Hampshire? Have they not heard of his recent golf championships?
Really hope that means PA is at risk too.
He’s also stopped spending money in NC, which he needs to win. Even if he gets GA and PA, if he loses NC he’s screwed. He’s not on the offensive anywhere.
ETA: didn’t expect this to get a bunch of responses — the ad spending report is in the week’s sticky thread a few hours back if you want to see the other states. Tldr his spending in NC has dropped from $10m to under $3m for the next nine weeks
When Biden was still the presumptive nominee, the Trump campaign was investing money in blue-leaning states that Biden won by a substantial margin in 2020, including New Hampshire, Virginia, and even New Jersey. The fact that Trump is pulling away from these states now that Harris is the nominee indicates that he is *scared*. He’s no longer focused on expanding the map (which seemed very possible while Biden was still the presumptive nominee) and seems to be going all in on Pennsylvania and Georgia, since that seems to be his only plausible route to victory now.
4 electoral votes, for the record.
Assuming she takes Wisconsin and Michigan she is likely at 251 votes. She would need 19 votes out of the following states that seem up for grabs. That is a lot of paths to 270.
* PA – 19
* NC – 16
* GA – 16
* AZ – 11
* NV – 6
Wisconsin is 10 and Michigan is 15 so even if she somehow loses one of those there are alternatives here as well though I think that would not bode well for her chances in general.
Don’t get complacent! VOTE!
[538 has Harris at a plus 7 point average in New Hampshire for the last few days.](https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/new-hampshire/)
Cool. Cory is moving out too? I’ve heard South Dakota is nice if you hate dogs.
Buh-bye weird old felon.
Now that some of the trash has taken itself out. We still have some serious work to do here stateside.
How is this freak winning ANY states? It doesn’t make sense, as an overseas observer.
Pretty sure New Hampshire has only voted red once in the last 50 years. It was never going to be winnable for him, even when Biden was the nominee.
Won’t be convinced until after November 8th
quick someone tell him PA isn’t winnable so he can fuck off out of my state, thanks
He’s not trying to win. He’s banking on local officials refusing to certify the election and throwing out either to the House of Representatives or the courts, either of which he’s thinking will crown him king. The only way to stave this off is to beat him in a landslide. This needs to be a lopsided win. Anything close is going to go to his MAGA Supreme Court.
It makes sense when you realize he doesn’t really care or perhaps even want a victory. He wants another coup. Winning wouldn’t allow for that.
No, you can definitely win NH. And you know what, NJ and CA as well. Just take away some funds from GA, PA and NC, I’m sure it will be fine. Please.
He’s not trying to win anymore. He’s convinced he can cheat his way to the top. Supreme court maybe
They should.focus on California.
Pack it up MAGA recess is over.
Please just peacefully fade into the abyss, thank you very much.
They’re just lowering expectations!!!! Don’t be complacent!! VOTE
It is crucial not to read this and breathe a sigh of relief but a blue tsunami is essential to insure the outcome.
Let’s generate the biggest voter turnout ever to send a message.
Dems are finally spending in states they haven’t much before. Putting the Trump campaign on the defensive. Forcing them to concentrate funds.
Also when your candidate is funneling all the funds into his own accounts you don’t have much to spend.
