In Nate Silver’s electoral forecast, Trump is now leading Harris by 6.5% to win the electoral college.

This final stretch is eerily similar to Clinton/Trump.

I would appreciate people not knee-jerk downvoting this post just because they don’t like what it implies. It’s worth being aware that Trump has been steadily gaining for a month, Harris has been losing ground, and this model now has her likely to lose. Ignoring these facts makes it difficult to do anything about them.

    It’s sad to say, but Buttigieg’s sexuality is as big a challenge in a general election as Harris’ gender - maybe moreso. He’s smart, tenacious, and would be a good leader. I would vote for him over Trump. But too many voters in swing states can’t see beyond the fact that he’s gay.
