In a significant development leading up to the upcoming election, more than 60 million Americans have already cast their ballots through early voting, breaking previous records. This surge in early voting sees an increase in participation among Republicans, particularly in key swing states, where they appear to be ahead of the pace set in 2020. Polls indicate that over half of registered voters are expected to vote early this election cycle, with Democrats maintaining enthusiasm but Republicans gaining ground. Analysts are closely monitoring early voting demographics and turnout patterns, as the race between candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris tightens significantly.
