With less than 24 hours to go until Election Day, the Trump campaign is out with a new memo and arguing Democrats have a turnout problem among key voting blocks.
"With Early Voting closed and Election Day on the horizon, Democrats are facing a massive turnout deficit. In every single battleground state, we see President Trump and Republicans outperforming elections past in absentee ballots and early votes cast. As we dive deeper into the data, Democrats are facing a precipitous decline in urban turnout according to their own 'data experts' and we are tracking an uptick in rural turnout," the memo states.
The campaign is citing concern from Democratic operatives Jim Messina and David Axelrod, who concede turnout isn't a guarantee and that Republican early voting numbers are "scary."
