Early voting in the USA: Democrats' loss of electoral momentum provides Republicans with a unique opportunity to control all branches of the federal government

Early voting began in Virginia, Minnesota, and South Dakota on September 20, 2024. During the last decade of September and October 2024, it will begin in the vast majority of states, with the exception of Alabama and New Hampshire, where such a procedure is not provided.

The start of early voting in the United States coincides with Kamala Harris's loss of political momentum after being nominated as the Democratic Party's nominee, which was extended by the Vice President's successful debate with Donald Trump.

Despite presenting her economic and political program, Harris failed to convince significant clusters of voters, including some traditionally Democratic-leaning black and Latino voters.

Democrats are facing a systemic problem in their campaign. As of mid-October, in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, Trump, according to a RealClear Polling survey, showed a slight advantage, with Harris ahead of his opponent only in Wisconsin.
