MSNBC Interviews Early Voters In Key Battleground State, Struggles To Find Anyone Who Voted For Harris
NBC News correspondent Vaughn Hillyard said Wednesday that not one early voter interviewed by his team in the battleground state of Arizona admitted they were voting for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Republicans are voting by mail or returning their ballots early at a two-to-one margin over Democrats, though Democrats outpaced Republicans with early voting in 2020, Hillyard said on “Jose-Diaz Balart Reports.” Not a single voter lining up at the polling locations in Mohave County openly said they were voting for Harris, the NBC correspondent added.
“We went to a couple early voting locations, and we saw lengthy lines during the lunch hour. Thirty people waiting in line, and we should note, we did not find a single person who audibly would tell us that they voted for Kamala Harris,” Hillyard said. “These were Trump supporters getting out to vote early in the all-important Mohave County.”
WATCH:
One supporter of Republican nominee Donald Trump named Jim Coddington said that voters are making a “special effort” to vote this year and that it is important for those to come out early. Shelley Schwarz, a voter in Mohave County, said she voted early for the first time ever because Trump encouraged voters to do so.
“He keeps saying it, and I’ve been thinking about it, and so here I am,” Schwarz said.
Another voter said he did not vote in 2020 but voted early in 2024 because he is “horrified by the state of the country,” Hillyard said. Three other voters he spoke to said they moved to Arizona from blue states to support Trump.
Trump is currently ahead in Arizona, 49% to 47%, according to The New York Times. President Joe Biden narrowly won the state in 2020 by less than one point, 49.4% to 49.1%, while the former president won the state against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 49.5% to 45.4% in 2016.
