Enthusiasm gap in our favor. Polls of people who have voted coming in heavy for Harris with significant GOP defections to vote for her. There's a lot to like.

MI and WI seemed to have been put more safely in her column lately. I feel like NV and AZ are going Harris due to the abortion ballot initiatives. Those 2 break for her and it doesn't matter what happens in PA, but I think she's probably ahead there too, especially after the Puerto Rico and racism fiasco for Trump last weekend. NC is also really close.

I know there's always an effort to temper expectations so people will stay motivated to vote and work hard, that point has passed, the people who are working will continue to work the next 5 days. Perhaps more than 100 million people will have voted by this weekend. What is going to happen is going to happen.
