Former Obama Campaign Manager Says Early Voting Data Is “Scary” For Democrats

Obama’s former campaign manager, Jim Messina, warned Democrats that early voting data is a red flag for Kamala Harris.

Messina, who ran Obama’s campaign in 2012, shared, “The early vote numbers are a little scary.”

He added, “Last time, Trump said don’t early vote so they didn’t. Republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers.”

“When the early votes come in, it’s going to look a little bit different than 2020 and that’s scary,” added Messina.

“The early vote numbers are a little scary,” Messina conceded on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” Sunday, later revealing that the results have caused several of “my friends to call me panicking.”

“Republicans didn’t do what they did last time,” Messina continued. “Last time, Trump said don’t early vote so they didn’t. Republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers. When the early votes come in, it’s going to look a little bit different than 2020 and that’s scary.”

Still, Messina stressed that a silver lining for Democrats is the large turnout of female voters and other key groups.
