Turnout, Money, and the Closing Stretch0:18 – 7:38

Kurt BardellaHost

0:18

Yeah.

Kurt BardellaHost

0:19

You know, at this stage of the game, I was just talking to someone about this who asked me like, what do you think is going to happen? Right.

Kurt BardellaHost

0:23

And, and I, I give the, there's a standard line, which is my favorite line, which is, well, the side that gets their side out to vote will probably win the election line, which we all know and love, uh, at this stage.

Kurt BardellaHost

0:34

I, and then we're going to talk about polling, uh, in a little bit, but, uh, I actually look less at polls and more at, uh, early voting numbers since that's actually happening now, especially in Texas, um, and where people are putting money.

Kurt BardellaHost

0:48

Um, That at least gives you a real snapshot as to what the respective parties think, where they're really at.

Kurt BardellaHost

0:57

In Florida, the Republicans pulled money out of trying to take out Congressman Jared Moskowitz.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:04

They've accepted that that didn't work out the way they had hoped, so they're moving money elsewhere.

Kurt BardellaHost

Kurt BardellaHost

1:34

Yeah.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:35

I also look at the Democratic Governors Association announcer putting a million dollars behind David Jolly.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:40

This follows President Clinton's trip there the other day, and Jolly raised about $3 million in, like, two days.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:46

You see that

Erin MaguireHost

1:46

Pritzker's putting a million behind Keisha Lance Bottoms.

Erin MaguireHost

1:50

Got it right that time.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:51

Yeah, majority.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:52

You got it right.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:53

You never get that right.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:53

I never get that right.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:54

In Georgia, yeah.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:55

You know, Pritzker's been particularly active, actually.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:58

I mean— $38 million.

Kurt BardellaHost

1:59

$38
