Modern Federalist Podcast – Special Election Day Edition

Description: In this special Election Day edition, Charlton Allen breaks down the key indicators to watch as the polls close, from early voting trends to crucial battleground states. With record Republican voter registration gains in states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and unexpected weaknesses in the Democratic base, could this mean a Trump win? Charlton discusses polling flaws, the potential “blue wall” crumble, and the underreported strength of Trump’s momentum. Plus, get insight into critical Senate and House races and what early wins in states like New Hampshire or Virginia might signal for the night ahead.

Key Points:

  • Early Voting Trends: Nevada’s troubling numbers for Democrats and GOP registration gains in battleground states.
  • Polling Analysis: Why polling herding and anomalies, like the Iowa outlier, should make us question the narrative.
  • State-by-State Predictions: Which states will decide the night? Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, plus New Hampshire and Virginia as early indicators.
  • Senate and House Races: Watch Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, with maybe NC-1 as a bellwether for GOP success. Control of the House will be determined in California.
  • Closing Thoughts: Trump’s path to victory is clearer than polls suggest, and the GOP is poised for potential gains in both chambers.
