New from @The_Sc0recard: Kevin takes his shot at predicting the outcome of this consequential 2024 race for the White House between @realDonaldTrump and @KamalaHarris. It should be a close one.

Walz got the best moment of the entire debate on January 6th. Landed powerful blows on Vance and then spoke directly to the camera about the stakes.
That was the most viral moment of the night—and it deserves to be.
Vance is a more skilled debater but not sure this debate has helped him overcome likability issues. Winning on points doesn’t mean moving the needle. Walz has been stronger in connecting with the audience at home during second half.
Missing immigrants is why there is a shortage of construction master workers, the number one reason homes didn’t get built.
Immigration didn’t drive up housing costs. Failure to allow immigration did.
It's called informing the audience. Like the Republican governor of Ohio said Vance is lying. The Republican mayor of Springfield said he was lying. So, of course, they need to point that out. Don't want to get fact checked? Don't blatantly lie.
