Recent post-debate presidential forecasts show a significant lead for Donald Trump over Joe Biden. According to The Economist, Trump is projected to win 308 electoral votes compared to Biden's 230, with a 73% chance of victory, a new high. Nate Silver's forecast also favors Trump, predicting 293 electoral votes for Trump and 245 for Biden, with a 68% chance of winning. The Democratic Party appears paralyzed by the sunk costs of Biden’s re-election bid and concerns that internal disagreement could benefit Trump.

I don't know how much of this is Trump's fault, but it does seem like committed partisans brazenly lying and being closed to new information is normal now. It is now ok, across politics, to be completely, proudly, and, in fact, knowingly unmoored from reality. https://t.co/9zFmKup7T5
