That will be believable if he doesn't win. The fact that it's cloee is absolutely nuts to an outsider.

It’s only close because of our broken electoral process that gives land more influence than citizens. He didn’t even win the popular vote for his first term.

National polling has Kamala up by +6 at best. Seems like 44%+ of ~~Americans~~ those polled seem comfortable and supportive of Trump. The fact it is that close at a national level, with all Haitians eating cats rhetoric, still seems insane to an outsider.

Edit: Updated to appease those saying 44%+ of those polled who say they support Trump is not an accurate reflection of Americans at-large. For reference, Trump won 46.1% of the popular vote in 2016 and 46.8% of the popular vote in 2020.

Hilary was polling at roughly the same numbers as close as two weeks before that election he won back in 2016, if I remember correctly. It was looking like a clean sweep for her, and it was anything but. So don't get comfortable yet.

Yep, almost the exact same spread in the national polls, and still lost. Absolutely no comfort for me with numbers where they are.
