Silver’s latest model has Trump at 63.8%. Here’s his electoral map:
-
Trump’s lead is as big as it’s been against Kamala. Tonight, he has the high bar of not being a complete dick. She has the much higher bar of showing she actually has policies and plans people would like.

Trump is inching closer to seeming human, at least based on the interview I saw recently with Fridman. But he will no doubt fail to pass simple tests of self-control in the debate, and Kamala will wink to the audience and project joy when he does. I have no doubt she has spent quality time with mirrors and body language consultants to perfect whatever it is she will be nonverbally communicating when Trump acts like Trump.
Also, I note that Silver himself calls this model a "prediction" of the election results.

She's been working with the same debate coach Hillary worked with. The guy dresses like Trump and tries to debate in his style. They've also brought some Hollywood people to do some consulting... She 's gonna bait him like a bear.
Plus, the MSM spin for her will be terrific. Shucks, I think ABC has already declared her the winner...

70% of the population distrust the media. Ostensibly, a heavy media bias towards Kamala would help Trump.

They may distrust them, but older people vote and the MSM is still their main source of info.
Shucks, look how a geezer like Jon leans on the NYT!

I'm going to be a freaking gazillionaire when Michelle is elected.
-
Kinda expected that.
I think you see them tighten back up, if she continues to stay in her basement.
BTW, notice the behavior of the two candidates? After the debate, Trump left for the spin room and talked awhile. Kamala-lama-ding-dong went directly to her limo and left.
-
If you listen to him, Trump has never lost anything in his entire life.
Considering how awesome he is, it's a little hard to understand why he always looks so bloody miserable.
He's

Ayup. Good week for Kamala. Will be interesting to see how much it affects the polls next week.

The first poll post-debate showed Kamala got the win, but Trump improved his position by .5% https://nypost.com/2024/09/11/us-news/kamala-harris-opens-up-narrow-lead-over-donald-trump-post-philadelphia-debate/

Odd that Vance isn’t listed. One of the UK markets puts him a distant third, ahead of Michelle and the other names you see here.
Maybe now that Trump will be sentenced for his felony conviction a few weeks after the election? If he was sent to prison in late September, I bet Vance's odds would've gone up.

If Trump wins, what is his sentence?
