And no October Surprise reopening of the email investigation this time either.
He almost certainly wouldn’t have won 2016 without that. It was that close.— Alan Quartermain (@AQuartermain) November 5, 2024

4 reasons 2024 won’t be 2016:
1) Trump was an unknown quantity. Today we know he’s horrible.
2) Clinton made some campaign mistakes. Harris hasn’t.
3) No October surprise like Comey’s Email investigation.
4) Troll farms had far more impact in 16. Today they’re easy to dismiss.— The Matt McNeil Show (@MattMcNeilShow) November 5, 2024
Bit weird to point to polls that were historically wrong as proof she had momentum. The Comey investigation was the October surprise in 2016.. she didn’t have momentum.

I’d say the whole Hillary-Comey debacle at the end of the 2016 race is the All-Timer. Comey reopening the investigation was the most consequential “October Surprise” I’ve seen in a presidential race.

not obvious to me–but does this always happen? of course 2016 had the Comey letter and Access Hollywood tape. But was there any October surprise in 2020? maybe I’m forgetting something, but I don’t recall anything
