Michael Cohen Predicts Swing State That Will Be ‘Called Early’

Michael Cohen says Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state in the presidential election, will be “called early” for Vice President Kamala Harris, in a new episode of his podcast.

Cohen, now a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, previously worked as his lawyer and testified against him in his criminal hush money trial in May.

During a Saturday “Mea Culpa” podcast episode on the left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch Network, Cohen spoke with Gabriel Sherman, the writer of “The Apprentice” biopic.

The film, directed by Ali Abbasi, tells a version of Trump’s life in New York in the 1970s and 1980s, focusing on his relationships with mentor Roy Cohn and his first wife, Ivana Trump.

Trump has expressed his disapproval of the movie on his Truth Socia platform, writing “A FAKE and CLASSLESS Movie written about me, called, The Apprentice (Do they even have the right to use that name without approval?), will hopefully ‘bomb,'” he wrote.

About forty minutes into their conversation, Sherman reflects on national polling in the presidential election, noting that most polls show Harris leading Trump in the popular vote, but “if you look at the swing state polls, they’re much closer, particularly in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.”

Harris and Trump continue to fluctuate and edge out one another in swing state polls, often with leads within the margin of errors.

While nationwide and aggregate polls gauge voter sentiment, the presidential election is ultimately decided by individual states and their Electoral College votes.

To win the presidency, a candidate must secure 270 electoral votes, which doesn’t always align with the national popular vote.

State-specific victories are crucial to securing electoral votes, as seen in the 2016 election, when former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but lost the presidency by failing to reach 270 Electoral College votes.

“I think he [Trump] loses by a bigger margin than what you think. I believe Pennsylvania will be called early in the race, because I believe that the people of Pennsylvania, and the Black community of Pennsylvania and Gen Z I think they [expletive] hate him,” Cohen said.
