“I think Harris is going to win easily."--Stuart Stevens

I don’t think it’s going to be particularly close. It’s the most stable race I can remember. 47% of the country is either MAGA or open to MAGA and 53% isn’t. So the Harris campaign’s goal, task, challenge has been to get as much of that 53% as they can and get them to vote. So we wake up in a world where our Senator Bernie Sanders and my old friend Liz Cheney are on the same side. That’s not a bad coalition.

"What is striking about the early vote is that women are voting at 10% higher than men … (and Harris) is winning women by 14 points … Even I can do that math. When this race is done, it’s going to be seen as the women of America spoke.

"Trump is never going to concede. They will attempt to have the House (of Representatives) not certify. I think the period from election night until January 20 is going to be the most dangerous period in America since the Civil War.

“Trump didn’t hijack the (Republican) party. He revealed it. And the reason that Trump is popular in the Republican Party is because he’s what Republicans want.” Even if Trump loses, “it’s not going to be the end of Trumpism.”
