40. There's a huge difference between 2016 and 2024.
Mon Nov 4, 2024, 04:02 PM
Nov 2024

Female voters in particular are going to make that clear on ROEvember 5, 2024.

Also, that final Iowa Selzer poll was a severe warning sign to Trump.

The Trump campaign has never recovered from Biden stepping aside and Harris moving to the top of the ticket.

Harris destroyed Trump during their debate.

I think Harris has received the widest range of endorsements in U.S. history.

Harris has earned unprecedented support across the entire political spectrum.

The Harris-Walz campaign was drastically better funded than the Trump campaign.

Harris has run a pitch-perfect campaign while Trump has run the worst one in U.S. history.

Even Trump's rallies have been thinning out.

And, Trump alienated Puerto Rican voters at the last minute.

There are scores of other reasons why 2016 and 2024 are much different.
