As the U.S. Presidential election approaches, Donald Trump appears to hold an 'early lead' in the Sun Belt, while polls show a tight race against Kamala Harris in key battleground states. A Trump campaign memo claims Democrats are experiencing a significant turnout deficit compared to 2020, particularly among urban and female voters, while Republican turnout has increased. In Pennsylvania, nearly two million ballots have been cast, with early voting figures showing a surprising uptick in Republican requests for mail-in ballots. However, Democratic early voting returns still outnumber Republicans nearly two-to-one, raising questions about future turnout. Election officials caution that early voting numbers may not accurately predict the outcome, as party affiliation does not guarantee voting behavior. Overall, the election is shaping up to be highly competitive, with varying turnout dynamics across different states.
