Republicans are finally just voting early.
That's one explanation. Not the only one......
Do I think Trump is going to win NJ? Not likely. But it's another leak in the dam for the Dems. One of an increasing number. Some of the soft blue states we've been talking about have not had much public polling done. And the safe blue states like NJ....no polling at all. So we really don't know much, but we can look around and make reasonable assumptions about the factors at play.
So who has momentum? (Trump)
Who is playing defense? (Democrats)
Who is playing offense? (Republicans)
What are the trends that could deliver a surprise "comfortable" victory to Harris? (none that are realistic.)
What are the trends that could deliver a surprise "comfortable" victory to Trump? (several that are becoming increasingly more realistic.)
All of those things affect assessments on the WI/MI/PA "blue wall."
Just getting harder and harder to assess high probability to Harris sweeping the blue wall, which increasingly seems to be her only pathway to victory.
That's why you see the betting markets where they are (2-1 in favor of Trump).
