Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of Donald Trump and a co-chair of the Republican National Committee, is confidently forecasting a robust surge in early voter turnout that could catapult her father-in-law back into the White House in 2024. This prediction came during her recent appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Fox and Friends,” where she laid out her case with all the enthusiasm of a political analyst who just discovered the secret vault of early voting statistics.
With her keen eye on swing states, Lara is not just throwing darts in the dark. She points to North Carolina, where Republicans are leading Democrats in early voting numbers—an astonishing turnaround from the typical 80/20 split that has favored Democrats like a thirsty sailor at a mirage. Not only did Republicans outpace their Democratic counterparts within the first two days of early voting, but they did so despite the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. If that doesn’t scream voter enthusiasm, what does?

Lara Trump emphasized the importance of the early voting message that has been repeated consistently by her father-in-law and the RNC: “Vote early, vote early.” It appears this tidbit of advice has been well received by conservatives. After all, if there’s one key takeaway from recent elections, it’s that the early bird may very well get the worm, particularly if that worm is a couch in the Oval Office.
Moving beyond North Carolina, Georgia is also making headlines with jaw-dropping early voting figures. While 2002 saw a modest 136,000 votes on the first day, this year’s early voting blew that out of the water with over 312,000 in-person ballots cast on a single Tuesday. For Democrats who think they can downplay these numbers, it’s time to face facts: the enthusiasm gap is painfully evident.
As Lara Trump points out, this sharpened focus on early voting represents a strategic shift from the previous presidential election. While in the past Democrats might have enjoyed a comfortable cushion in early turnover, Republicans are now flipping the script with passion and determination. The early voting trend showcased by Lara Trump marks a clear motivator for Americans eager to reclaim control of their government in 2024.
If the numbers continue to roll in, it could be a beacon of hope for Republicans looking to recapture the White House. For Lara Trump and her team, it’s more than just encouraging early voting; it’s about rallying a base ready to show their support. The more Democrats scramble to explain away the enthusiastic early turnout, the clearer it becomes: it’s shaping up to be an exhilarating election year for conservative Americans.
