When you hear that music, you know what time it is. As my social media team, the young kids say, that's your boomer music, Don. They're saying I'm old, although I'm not a boomer. Not quite. I'm a Gen Xer. And then I'll be a Gen Zer. I'll pretend as I get older. Hi, everybody. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. We're so glad that you're here today. This show you're going to love. You are going to love this show because, you know, I know you guys. I know the Lemonheads. I know the Lemon Nation because it is good news. And it's what I've been telling you when I told you, well, I had some concerns, cautiously optimistic. Now, listen, anything can happen. But I told you, well, I believe that the Puerto Rican thing would stick, right?
And I also said to you that women are going to save the day. That women were going to – my term is women are going to show up in droves. So, hello. Women will save America, question mark. My team said, can we do it? Put a question mark on this thumbnail. And I said, no, do not put a question mark because I believe women will save America. They're already doing it generally every single day. So whether should I say women are saving America? Because, you know, why do I say that on November 5th? There are so many folks who are voting, but right now there are more women voting than men. In fact, some 60 million Americans have already cast their ballots on the state level, and the data is fascinating. And it really has the conservatives, right, sweating.
Or I should say the MAGA folks, right, because not all conservatives are MAGA folks, but it's got them sweating. Nonpartisan analysis of the figures show, as of yesterday, there are signs of a significant influx of new female Democratic voters in Pennsylvania. in Georgia, in North Carolina, in Michigan. In fact, women are voting a great deal more than their male counterparts, okay? And I said to you guys, I say I'm always going to speak the truth to you. I said that I believe that women, the new voters, are not being picked up in the polling and in the focus groups. I also believe that about even maybe some young folks, okay? So what's been the GOP reaction? It's to crank up the misogyny from 10 to 11, maybe to 15.
And we have to discuss this with a... pair of fortunate, brilliant women who I really respect. It is Monique Presley. She is a legal analyst and political commentator, the host of Make It Make Sense with Monique Presley on Instagram, airing weekdays at noon Eastern. I have had the pleasure of being on the show and rebroadcast on YouTube. And she's a friend of the show, obviously. And then Lauren Leder. Lauren is a friend of the show. She's the co-founder and CEO of All In Together and host of Majority Rules on Two Way, which I've been on and I'm supposed to be back on, but I've just been so busy. I promised you, Lauren, I'm going to come on soon. Welcome to both of you. How are you feeling on this? What is it, five days till election day?
Five, four, three, two, one. How are you doing?
I'm hopped up on Halloween candy to try to get through this. You are. That's my stress management tool is Halloween candy.
Take some Halloween candy to the polls, guys. Take some Halloween candy. My glasses are crooked. I think I slept on them. I fell asleep on them. I bent them. Okay, so let's talk about this. This is the early voter gender breakdown, okay? Yeah. There are, let's see what it says. 10 point gender gap in early voting so far. Women account for roughly 55% of the early vote while men are around, guess what? 45%. And look at that. Leave it up there. Look at the state breakdowns, at the state breakdown.
Yeah.
Arizona, 52%. Nevada, 50%. Pennsylvania, 56%. Georgia, 56%. North Carolina, 55%. Michigan, 55%. And Wisconsin, 55%. So when you look at those numbers, just real quickly, what are you thinking, Monique?
We're looking good. We're looking good. That's all you'll say. I don't know what else to say about it. I'm encouraged. I'm pushing away from me all of the negativity about what the numbers could really mean. And a little later, I just want to share, I was in Florida in a part of Florida where you would never believe there would be a single person voting for Kamala Harris.
