CNN analyst Marc Lotter, formerly the Director of Strategic Communications for Trump’s 2020 campaign, issued a stark analysis of early voting trends in swing states. The numbers, he says, suggest a difficult road ahead for Democrats, whose typical early voting advantage appears to be slipping.
“The math doesn’t work,” Lotter explained, detailing a 1.7 million vote deficit in urban areas in battleground states. Democrats typically dominate urban areas, so these figures indicate an unexpected weakness. Additionally, he noted that Democrats are “down 1.4 million votes among women voters” in these swing states, raising doubts about their path to victory.

Rural turnout, however, is trending positively for Republicans. Lotter highlighted that rural voters, who lean Republican, “have overperformed early by 300,000,” strengthening the GOP’s position before Election Day. This surge adds pressure to the Democrats, who generally depend on a robust early turnout.
Democrats usually aim to build a lead before Election Day, while Republicans often surge on the day itself. Without the early advantage, Democrats may struggle to keep up in states crucial for winning the presidency.

Strong Republican turnout could be decisive. If Republicans vote in large numbers, it could secure these critical states for Trump, potentially allowing him to reverse the damage done by the Biden-Harris regime.
