So if it's a trend across most states, it could mean overall numbers for TFG to be down. It's still too early to tell though.

But the votes in Lexington and Louisville haven’t rolled in, if the rural areas are closer then the state will definitely be closer than 2020.

Brian Tyler Cohen skips reporting that are below 60% and only look at counties with more. And quite a number of those that is consistently showing 3-4 points improvement comparing to Biden's 2020 number. It's still too early to tell though.

Will be him saying that he has won the election even though it’s absurd to say that at that point and now you’ve got 60 million Americans willing to start a war when he loses.

He declared he won the first night and no one cared nor did it affect the outcome. I think it will be the same this year. There are more normal Americans than the crazy MAGA. He also has a lot less power now as a private citizen than he was in 2020 when he was president.

And get a maggot judge to stop The counting and ultimately disqualify the results based on made up imaginary problems.

One of the reason Biden won was that his support in the rural part went up from Hillary in 2016. If Kamala improves on Biden's number, then it will be a good night for us. TFG's support mostly come from rural counties.

But TFG's main votes are coming from rural counties. If rural counties across the country drops their support for TFG by 3-4 points, Kamala will have a very good night tonight. It's too early and not enough data points to tell if it's a trend yet.

But it is kinda validating the Iowa poll we saw a few days ago.

So it's a good sign for now.

This was fully expected -- Trump was always going to win them easily. To be honest, I'm not really sure why they were even a focus here. I'm not sure what it can really tell us about anywhere else.

Definitely a shift towards Kamala in red areas.
