I joined BBC for a short...but fun interview talking about what the campaigns need to do down the final stretch.
A few follow ups on my thought from the panel.
1. Democrats need a lot more than talking points. It's why voters aren't embracing Harris.
2. The Trump campaign doesn't need to roll out a plan. Voters lived in the Trump economy and liked it better than the Biden/Harris one.
3. The Dem strategist here talks about "early votes" but he didn't seem to realize that these early votes are actually coming from Trump supporters who are doing what Trump asked them to to...vote early and don't wait until election day. Trump is driving this early vote enthusiasm, not Harris.
4. Reporters ask a lot about third party voters, and they should. But these two campaigns know that this election has a lot to do with their base turning out and voting, which is why Dems should be scared of point 3 above.
5. In Person Voters: Favor Trump. Mail Ballot Voters: Favor Dems. An easy way to guess at which candidate is winning indies is to see have more indies cast in person ballots or mail ballots? This is a potential huge indicator in some swing states and a lot of down ballot races.
