No matter what the polls ever say, the most important thing to do is vote and encourage others to vote.

The RNC has 6 Million LESS viewers than 2016. That's quite a swing!

Republicans still show up to vote and reliably vote party line. The only way to beat them is motivating people to vote against them in battleground states.

Less viewers because fewer people are engaged or because people already know who they’re voting for?

Republicans vote Republican. 2016 was an anomaly because Trump was an unknown factor and a voice for change in the RNC. I doubt many people’s opinions on Trump have shifted since 2020 and the Republican candidate was a foregone conclusion.
