Daily Wire Editor Emeritus <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> talked to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megyn Kelly</a> on Tuesday night about the early election results and said he was feeling “cautiously optimistic.”
During Kelly&#8217;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_3NcoXrAdQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 election special</a>, Shapiro, known for his &#8220;facts don’t care about your feelings&#8221; adage, was asked by Kelly how he was feeling. He replied, &#8220;I don’t do feelings.&#8221;
The Daily Wire host then added that “early indicators” in places like his home state of Florida could show “good bellwethers” as the polling locations start closing across the country for the election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I’ve heard some indicators, some rumblings, from people inside some of the campaigns in Pennsylvania that she, Kamala Harris, is not getting the urban turnout that she’s looking for, thus far,” the Daily Wire host said. “But rural turnout is really, really high, which is, of course, precisely what Trump needs.”
“So again, I think that cautious optimism is probably the only response given the data that we are seeing thus far,” he added. “One of the things that I just find hard to comprehend is the possibility that anybody would be enthusiastic voting for her.”

“This is the thing I keep coming back to in this election cycle. I have heard a lot of people make the case for Trump. I’m one of those people,” Shapiro continued. “I’ve heard a lot of people make the case against Donald Trump. &#8230; The thing I have never heard anyone make is a case for Kamala Harris. Because that case does not exist. Kamala Harris can’t even make a case for Kamala Harris.”
Kelly pointed out that some exit polls showed voters put the economy and immigration as their top concerns this election. Shapiro agreed, but pointed out that CNN exit polls had included an option for Democracy, which topped its exit polls, followed by the economy. Shapiro said it&#8217;s clear that Donald Trump’s vote is showing up and the real question is whether Kamala&#8217;s vote is going to show up.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-you-need-to-vote-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shapiro</a> recently talked about how much was at stake in the election and why it’s so important to get out and vote.
“You need to vote because there are serious matters at stake, as I <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/my-closing-statement-why-i-voted-trump">discussed yesterday</a>,” Shapiro said. “But there is a broader question at stake today in this election: whether we are a nation that wants to be dynamic, or whether we want to slide into senescence.”
“Are we a nation that wants an economy of innovation, or one of redistribution and stagnation? Are we a nation that wants a foreign policy of strength, with powerful allies and our enemies in retreat?” he added. “Or are we a nation that wants to abandon the world stage, handing power to our enemies as the light dies?”
“Are we a nation that wants to build on the roots of family and community, or one that wants to trade the institutions that make life worth living in favor of top-down dictation from a self-appointed elite who believe that their untried values ought to supplant time-tested virtues?” Shapiro continued. &#8220;Most of all, you need to vote because you owe it to both your ancestors and your progeny to do so.&#8221;
