CNN Data Reporter Spots How Trump Could Get His 'Great White Whale' This Election
HuffPost
Harry Enten said the GOP nominee could make "history" with an occurrence that hasn't been seen in two decades.
CNN’s senior political data reporter Harry Enten on Friday said that Donald Trump “may finally get his great white whale” in this year’s election.
“He could win the popular vote, which of course is something he would absolutely love to do,” said Enten, who added that the GOP nominee is “very much in a position” to do so after losing the popular vote in 2016 and 2020.
Enten, in a segment with CNN’s John Berman, pointed to national polls of registered and likely voters showing Trump ahead of Kamala Harris while others show the vice president leading the GOP nominee.
The two are tied among registered and likely voters in a recent poll by The New York Times.
Trump could also make “history” if he wins the popular vote as the last GOP nominee to do so was President George Bush in 2004, Enten said.
