Lara Trump believes early voter turnout is going to propel Republicans to victory

Lara Trump is predicting that early voter turnout is going to propel her father-in-law, former President Donald Trump, to victory in the 2024 presidential election. 

The Washington Examiner reports that Lara Trump made the state during an appearance on the Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends Sunday. 

Not only is Lara Trump the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump but she is also the co-chair of the Republican National Committee.

She was one of the individuals who replaced Ronna McDaniel, and now she and the committee are doing everything in their power to get Trump and other Republicans elected in the upcoming election.

The key: early voter turnout

The background here is that there has been record levels of early voting in swing states this year. Lara Trump believes that this is good news for Republicans.

During her Fox appearance, she said:

You’re talking right now about my home state, Will, of North Carolina. We have seen early vote totals there that are outpacing Democrats, meaning the first two days of early voting, which was Thursday and Friday, Republicans had a thousand more votes than Democrats coming out of those two days. We never see that; it’s like an 80/20 split in the Democrats’ favor.

It is not just happening in North Carolina either. Another example is Georgia.

Lara Trump continued:

Listen, I have felt a little bit like a broken record over the course of the past several months because all I’ve talked about, the messaging you’ve heard from Donald Trump, the messaging from the campaign, and the RNC has been: "Vote early, vote early." And what we’re seeing is that people have heard this, and they are actually executing this.

"This is how we’re going to win, guys," Trump argued.

Background

In a stark contrast to the last presidential election, Trump and Republicans - as Lara Trump stated - have been encouraging Americans across the country to "vote early." And, this appears to be what is happening.

One interesting thing to note is that North Carolina is seeing record levels of early voting despite the fact that it was recently devastated by Hurricane Helene. This, of course, suggests that people are extremely motivated to vote in this election.

The early voting numbers in Georgia are also impressive.

The Examiner reports, "In Georgia, the previous record for early voting was in 2002, when 136,000 votes were cast on the first day. Tuesday alone saw more than 312,000 in-person ballots."

Many Democrats are now trying to downplay all of this. But, the numbers are hard to argue against.
