Stand for America Fund Inc, a super PAC that supports Nikki Haley, reported on Thursday that it has raised $50.1 million in the second half of 2023 — millions more than Trump-aligned super PAC MAGA Inc., which reported over $46 million.

There are no details from these numbers yet, which were reported by the New York Times, as the Federal Election Commission filing deadline is only Jan. 31.

When it comes to MAGA Inc.'s funds, the super PAC ended the year with over $23 million in cash on hand, according to reports — and counted with over a dozen donors who contributed with $1 million or more.

    Second, the polls are broken

    Broken is a stretch but we do know which way they leaned and that’s not a good sign considering Biden’s numbers were overstated.

    Most preelection polls in 2020 overstated Joe Biden’s lead over Donald Trump in the national vote for president

    It’s not hopeless but the margins are thin, Trump won by 77,000 votes in 2016 and lost by 81,000 in 2020. Biden doesn’t have a lot of slack to play with and he’s going to be hit hard from all sides including his own thanks to 10/7.

    Between inflation, “the border”, Ukraine funding, Israel and every country with a vested interest against America influencing people online more than ever before it’s gearing up to be a disaster.

      I didn’t cite Biden’s election, I specifically cited midterms and special elections. We know Trump supporting voter turnout was higher than expected in 2020. So was Biden turnout, though not by as much.

      But now we’re three years in, inflation is down, the economy is robust, and there’s not nearly as much reason to be full of doom and gloom as an addiction to pundits would have you believe.

      Breathe. Hope is not lost.
