42. We shall see soon enough. While President Trump is hitting his 2020 raw number

Nov 8

totals, VP Harris is way underperforming President Biden's raw numbers. If that trend continues she will get less than 7M of those outstanding votes.

In any event we will see in relatively short order. My prediction is that President Trump at the end will have 35-37% of the CA votes.

Given all we know about the 2024 election so far, particularly the significantly increased early/absentee kelly1mm Nov 7 #14

Republicans still mostly voted in-person -- not by mail -- even when early voting. W_HAMILTON Nov 7 #15
