Let's drive it up further. Republicans tend to vote more on election day, so let's make sure the early vote grows larger and larger
Register to vote if you haven't. Today is the deadline in some states like Pennsylvania!
Find opportunities to volunteer around you and online
Voting early is also helpful for campaigns because they can stop bothering the people who've already voted and move on to other voters (that you vote is known, but who you vote for is not)
I don't know if he even knows for sure

Context for the 2nd bullet point is that he claimed he "wasn't close to 80" when he's 78 and he said "Energy is so big. It's so like amorphous. It's all over the place. If you make donuts, it's a stove"
They did start it earlier. It's talking about work that's been ongoing
Republicans are claiming to voters that they "don't know anything about projects 2025". Despite supporting all the policies individually. There's still plenty of room to argue the electorate was duped by their lies should they win
General consesus seems to be the early vote data looks good for dems overall. Some suggest that there maybe a slight increase in republicans switching from election day voting to early, but otherwise looks pretty good. Honestly would have expected more of that given that republicans theoretically made it a focus of their get out the vote to get people to vote earlier
Analyzing early voting data can be a little tricky because of you can only look at those indirect metrics. I mean even with party registration it doesn't tell you if republicans are choosing not to vote for trump which the republican oversampling polling suggests we might see more of compared to 2020
They don't release exit polling until after polls close on election day
There is not direct data on who they are voting for, only demographic data. For instance, you can see that currently around 55% of early voters in Georgia are women. In some states you can also look at party registration but that doesn't tell you everything (people often don't update it) and a large chunk are not registered, but that can get you a good idea
She defended trans people while on Fox in front of that republican audience. She shut down the line of anti-trans questioning fairly quickly
She reaffirmed her commitment to following the law, which requires that transgender inmates receive medically necessary care, which includes gender affirming care. When pressed further, she pushed back, comparing Trump's disproportionate spending on this issue to his lack of focus on the larger issues affecting the American people.

The federal minimum wage has not increased from $7.25 per hour since 2009.
On the campaign trail, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has said that needs to change
Also note that one the link I sent earlier shows other volunteer opportunities like phonebanking and canvasing (door knocking)
Walz promptly responded by discussing possible actions that he and Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris could take.
He talked about antidiscrimination laws he wanted, judge appointment, helping education about LGBTQ related topics, etc
Mind you that Walz got a lot of policies through to help trans and queer people in Minnesota with a single seat majority
He also was a founding faculity advisor of a gay-straight alliance in the early 90s when it was very not socially acceptable at all. He supported same-sex marriage before it was legalized nationally when running in a deep red seat despite that not really netting him any political points there
It's not at all certain we lose the senate. There's actually a real chance we win. If we flip Texas senate (super close) or Florida senate (fairly close) or squeek by in Montana, we can keep the senate
Alternatively, we could also get a 49-50-1 senate if union-leader indepdent Dan Osborn flips Nebraska which polling suggests he is really got a chance to do. It's gone from a close race to a close race with osborn up slightly
Recently leaked republican GOP senate internals suggest republicans are much more worried about it than they are publicly letting on

Ah I see we forgot to look at donuts in our search for dark energy
