It’s only days before the presidential election, and Americans are already flocking to the polls in record numbers. Early voting has surged this year, particularly in the all-important swing states that will likely decide the fate of the race.

In these places, voters are lining up early and mailing in ballots, eager to have their say before Election Day. And for good reason—every vote in these battlegrounds will be crucial to determining the next President of the United States.

NBC News reporters recently hit the ground in a key state to get a feel for who these early voters were backing. As one of the most critical swing states, it has been the site of intense political battles, especially after its razor-thin results in the last two elections.

The NBC team interviewed early voters, expecting to hear a variety of political leanings. But what they discovered left these liberal reporters in a state of shock. This is how many people voted for Kamala.

From Daily Caller:
NBC News correspondent Vaughn Hillyard said Wednesday that not one early voter interviewed by his team in the battleground state of Arizona admitted they were voting for Vice President Kamala Harris…

“…We did not find a single person who audibly would tell us that they voted for Kamala Harris,” Hillyard said. “These were Trump supporters getting out to vote early in the all-important Mohave County.

Arizona Voters Say ‘No Thanks’ to Harris

NBC correspondent Vaughn Hillyard reported live from Mohave County, a battleground within a battleground. This is where early voting has exploded, with Republicans leading the charge.

According to Hillyard, Republicans are returning ballots or voting by mail at a two-to-one margin over Democrats. That’s a significant reversal from the 2020 election, when Democrats led the way in early voting.

But what really caught the media off guard? The fact that not one voter they interviewed had anything good to say about Kamala Harris—or even admitted voting for her at all.

Hillyard noted that these early voters were largely Trump supporters, and the lines at polling locations were filled with people ready to vote for the former president once again.

“We went to a couple of early voting locations, and we saw lengthy lines during the lunch hour,” Hillyard reported. “Thirty people waiting in line, and we should note, we did not find a single person who audibly would tell us that they voted for Kamala Harris.” Ouch.

That’s a tough look for a campaign desperately trying to woo swing voters. The energy clearly isn’t with Harris, despite what the mainstream media may want you to believe.

Trump Enthusiasm Through the Roof

The vibe in Arizona is clear: Trump voters are turning out early and in force. Republican voters like Jim Coddington told NBC that they were making a “special effort” to get out and vote this year. “It’s important to vote early, and I want my voice to be heard,” Coddington explained.

Shelley Schwarz, another early voter, admitted that she was casting her ballot early for the first time ever—thanks to Trump’s encouragement. “He keeps saying it, and I’ve been thinking about it, and so here I am,” she said, reinforcing the former president’s influence on his loyal base.

One voter even said he hadn’t participated in 2020 but was voting early in 2024 because he was “horrified by the state of the country.” Hillyard spoke with three more early voters who said they had moved to Arizona from blue states specifically to support Trump.

That’s right—people are literally relocating to make sure their votes count in a battleground state. If that’s not a sign of enthusiasm, what is?

Arizona remains a critical state, with Trump currently leading Harris 49% to 47%, according to a recent New York Times poll. The state, which Biden won by a sliver in 2020, is now leaning back toward red.

But don’t expect the media to talk much about that. The real story here is that Harris, once considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, can’t seem to find any open support in swing states like Arizona. And if that trend holds, Democrats could be in serious trouble.

Key Takeaways

• Record early voting is happening, especially in key swing states.
• Republican enthusiasm is sky-high, with Trump voters showing up in droves to vote early, far outpacing Democrats who led early voting in 2020.
• Kamala Harris is struggling to gain any traction in swing states, as NBC reporters found no early voters willing to admit they were backing her.
