I've been looking at the universe of voters in GA who cast a ballot in 2020, but didn't vote in 2024 and are still registered in the state. There are just over 1 million such voters. Not surprisingly, they are modeled as more likely Dems.

It’s also they are NOT PROVIDING the proper context for the pardon which is that Trumps incoming head of FBI personally vowed to keep investigating Hunter the MSM is in cahoots with Trump
The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media:
Is it a story? Sure.
But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.
