Halperin on 2-Way Makes a Momentous Prediction with Caveats.
“Good morning, everybody. Let’s lead with the lede, as they say in journalism. If the early vote numbers stay the way they are, and that’s a big if, we’ll almost certainly know before Election Day who’s going to win the election.
“We’re going to talk a lot about thatโthe reasons why Democrats might be underperforming, the prospect that they’ll recover. But again, make no mistake, if these numbers hold up in the states where we can understand even partially what the data is like, we’ll know that Donald Trump’s going to be president on election day.
“So we’re going to talk about that. But I didn’t want to bury that because it’s extraordinarily important, and we got to track that day to day. That’s more important than the polls right now; it’s more important than almost anything because it’s giving us insight into a variety of factors that are accounting for a Republican overperformance by various metrics in the early voting in the battleground states.”

โThing are very tense now,โ says @MarkHalperin. โThe early vote looks very good for Republicans. Not that they’re going to win the early vote, but that the delta is going to be small enough. If it stays on this trajectory, Election Day would be anticlimactic. Democrats are goingโฆ pic.twitter.com/fNijXNPTs7
