Trump Set To Win 2024 Election?
The upcoming presidential showdown between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris promises to be extraordinarily tight, according to former Representative Pete King. Appearing on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America Weekend,” King highlighted that if Trump maintains his current strategy, he is poised to perform strongly on Election Day.
King noted that Harris has recently enjoyed a significant boost in media attention, largely due to a favorable month and a Democratic convention that garnered her considerable free publicity. However, King argues that despite this media advantage, if the race is still neck-and-neck at this stage, Trump is likely to pull ahead in the final results. He recalled that in the 2020 election cycle, Joe Biden led Trump by 6 or 7 points around this time, and Hillary Clinton was also ahead in 2016. Yet, Trump has consistently outperformed his poll numbers on Election Day, often surpassing predictions by 2 or 3 points.
King expressed optimism about the close race, emphasizing the importance of unity between Trump and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. He noted that the previous tensions between them were counterproductive, but now their collaboration should benefit their campaign significantly. With both leaders working together and leveraging Georgia’s robust political machinery under state party chairman Josh McKoon, King believes they have a strong chance of securing the state.
Furthermore, King discussed the crucial swing states, underscoring how tight the electoral landscape is with states like Pennsylvania and Georgia potentially being decided by razor-thin margins. He also mentioned the impact of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who, despite supporting Trump, remains on the ballot in several key states. While Kennedy’s presence could complicate the race, especially in swing states, it’s a factor that adds unpredictability to an already dynamic election cycle.
King concluded that the primary issues driving the election—economic concerns and border security—are areas where Trump holds an advantage. Even a slight edge could be pivotal in tipping the scales in critical states like Pennsylvania.
