With just three weeks left before Election Day, Donald Trump has gained crucial momentum over Kamala Harris, narrowing the gap in a string of new polls. CNN data analyst Harry Enten highlighted a seismic shift for the GOP, revealing that, for the first time since the 1980s, registered Republicans now outnumber Democrats. This development gives the GOP a crucial edge in states where the race remains deadlocked, with Pennsylvania showing Harris and Trump in a dead heat at 47% each.
The numbers reflect a fundamental shift in voter affiliation since 2020 when Democrats held an eight-point lead in registered voters. Now, Republicans are up by one percentage point, marking the first such advantage since Reagan’s 1984 landslide victory.
Meanwhile, Trump isn’t letting up on his critiques of Harris. The former president called for the VP to take a cognitive test, labeling her answers in interviews as “word salad” and questioning her ability to lead. Trump’s comments follow Harris’s challenge to Trump to release his own health records, a move that has fueled further sparring between the two camps.
Harris also faced backlash from Time Magazine’s owner, Marc Benioff, after she declined repeated interview requests. Benioff took to social media, calling out Harris’s lack of media engagement, questioning her commitment to public transparency.
