Although the presidential race is incredibly tight in the polling averages, the two most likely outcomes are actually Electoral College blowouts.
Here’s why:

“Donald Trump is spending part of his Sunday afternoon behind the counter at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s,” Rolling Stone reports.

“Donald Trump has largely avoided interviews where he will be fact-checked in real time. But on Sunday, he sat for an interview on Fox News, where he was challenged directly on some of his most glaring falsehoods of the campaign,” the New York Times reports.
“The exchanges that resulted provided a case study in the tactics the former president uses when confronted with facts that contradict his statements.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) lambasted fellow Republicans crossing party lines to support Vice President Kamala Harris Sunday, asking, “What the hell are you doing?,” Axios reports.

Donald Trump told the Wall Street Journal he “wouldn’t have to” use military force against China because leader Xi Jinping “respects me and he knows I’m fucking crazy.”

Kamala Harris visited churches in Georgia on Sunday, urging congregants to cast early ballots as part of her campaign’s “souls to the polls” push to turn out Black voters, CNN reports.

“Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump went on a bizarre rant about golf legend Arnold Palmer, the athlete’s oldest daughter dismissed the former president’s vulgar comments about the size of her father’s penis,” The Independent reports.

Said Peggy Palmer: “I thought it was an unfortunate way to remember my dad.”

“I’ve got no cognitive problem. I have no cognitive… There’s no cognitive problem… Got no cognitive.”

With just over two weeks until Election Day, both candidates are plunging into nonstop rallies and interviews in a bid to get in front of as many voters as possible. (Though notably, Trump has backed out of several recent high profile media appearances, including a sit-down with 60 Minutes.)

After Elon Musk unveiled a scheme to pay $100 to registered Pennsylvania voters who sign a pro-Trump petition, Democratic officials—and legal experts—are sounding the alarm.
