James Carville is right

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Even as large chunks of the media openly salivate for a controversial election result that stretches out for days and sets all kinds of TV ratings records, it’s not a given that this will happen. In fact Joe Biden is heading into election day with the largest lead in the polling averages in a generation – and the Trump/GOP court challenges just keep failing.

Democratic strategist James Carville, who has a knack for being right when most others are wrong, predicted today that we’ll know the election results by 10pm eastern time on election night. His reasoning? It’s a blowout, and blowouts tend to be called early.

I’m not putting my money down on any specific time of night. But James Carville is correct in that there’s a good chance this election will indeed be called on Tuesday night. After all, most of our fear and trepidation about the election is based on the gut punch that was 2016, and as the numbers keep making clear, the 2020 election looks nothing like the 2016 election.
