And Tampa Bay mayor issues grave warning to residents ahead of Milton

VIEW IN BROWSER MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news Tuesday, Oct. 08, 2024 THE LATEST The GOP is feeling the stress of Trump's anti-early voting stance By Hayes Brown The polls still show Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in a close race both nationally and in most swing states. With the results likely falling on a knife's edge, the deciding factor may well be which side is best able to drive voters to the polls. But if that's the case, Republicans are acting at a disadvantage that can only be ascribed to Trump himself.   Modern elections are more of an "election month" in many states, with early voting and mail-in ballots offering opportunities to cast votes long before Election Day. This was previously a nonpartisan issue, but things have been thrown into disarray for Republicans since Trump's 2020 re-election campaign. Democratic-led states in particular had moved to set up more ballot drop boxes, pre-emptively send out mail-in ballot request forms and otherwise help people vote safely in the middle of a pandemic.   This is a preview of Hayes Brown's latest article.
