Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin has released a critical study of the party’s performance in the 2024 campaign.

With Democrats still holding a 108,000 vote advantage, Steve Schale with the Biden-backing Unite the Country PAC is feeling confident going into Election Day. But Republicans are confident they can close the gap with Election Day turnout. This is when our voters, they prefer to vote in person on Election Day, traditionally. If 3.1 million show up to the polls on Election Day, the state will have surpassed the previous turnout record set in 1992. In 2016, Trump led by two-tenths of a point going into Election Day, but ultimately came out 1.2 percent ahead in the results.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Floridians have shattered records for both early and in-person early voting this year. Records were shattered in both vote-by-mail and early, on-site voting in Florida and ballots cast represent 93% of all votes received in 2016. Turnout comparisonVoting by mail isn’t as popular in Jacksonville and neighboring counties as in South Florida, but early voting exceeded 2016 everywhere. Given President Donald Trump’s continuing yet unfounded warning of massing mail voting fraud, Republican voters could well outnumber Democrats on Election Day, as well. Any voters with spoiled mail ballots because of signature or other issues have until 5 p.m. Thursday to fix them.

Instead, it’s about fighting the coronavirus, which means different things for different Florida voters based on their political affiliations, ages and livelihoods. That’s in line with a recent Florida Chamber of Commerce poll from early October that found the biggest issue voters wanted addressed by the governor and Legislature was COVID-19. Tyson, however, said there’s no clear-cut indication of what exactly that means, though the surveys showed that the handling of COVID-19 also has created an age divide among Florida voters. “If you have a loved one that’s passed away, you have a different issue than a young person who got diagnosed and felt bad for a couple of days,” MacManus said. “I would argue one of the reasons why President Trump found Jesus on pre-existing conditions is how much he’s struggling with suburban women,” Schale said.
