it stays red. It could even flip blue this year. Demographics are changing. People there are not liking the fascism, and the apathy is breaking. Voter suppression/repression will still be there. But that can be overcome with turnout drives and people getting motivated to vote. VPOTUS HArris will motivate the black vote. I think she'll reach out and connect with the Hispanic vote. And women of all colors will significantly support her since the Republiklan Party's draconian abortion policies came about.

Put me down in the "Harris comes within 0.5% of winning or wins outright" camp

I don't think she needs to win FL or TX Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #7

Harris definitely wins if she's within 5% of either of those states & I guess psychologically we could feel assured... RidinWithHarris Aug 2024 #8

On a strict numbers basis she doesn't need to win Florida jmowreader Aug 2024 #20
