I am katie feng and for alex. The 2020 presidential election was one of the closest races we ve ever experienced in this country although george w. Bush won the election, it was al gore who won the popular vote that your. When you start to slice and dice the electorate into different voting groups, that race starts to look weightless tight. Check this out. In 2000, george w bush dramatically outperformed his opponent among white evangelical voters, winning 68% among that group. In 2024 he increased that support by 10 points.

Week when i had a little bit of a bug. I really appreciate it. You are welcome and the best news, you ve gotten better, so you have a great labor day weekend. Thanks, chris.

And while they are doing that, trump is out there and honestly stumbling to put together english sentences. His campaign keeps making a mess, including an enormous one tonight which we are going to get to. Both the candidate and his aides are as usual posting through it, the fallout continues from his political photo operand campaign commercial on tiktok at arlington national cemetery at the beginning of the week where he gave the thumb
