‘Overconfidence’ from supporters could stunt Trump victory: Sarah Bedford

Published October 28, 2024 10:49am ET



The Washington Examiner‘s Investigation’s Editor, Sarah Bedford, suggested the enthusiasm among Trump supporters could cause some voters to skip voting this year, allowing Vice President Kamala Harris to seize victory.

Bedford’s comments came as former President Donald Trump and his allies conducted a massive rally in New York City‘s Madison Square Garden on Sunday, during which Trump vowed he would bring about a “new golden age” for the nation. In assessing the rally, Bedford noted it was held in a state not considered to be a contender for Trump in the Electoral College, and the large number of rally attendees showed how many people are willing to travel long distances to see him speak.
