Donald Trump is reportedly losing sleep, battling anxiety, and obsessing over his polling numbers as the GOP nominee hopes to hang his hat on any sign that he will return to the White House.

A campaign official told Axios that Trump is asking more questions and pushing his staff to work even more to ensure that he will come out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris come Election Day.

"Trump's anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going---and whether they think he'll win," Axios reported.

I've slept maybe 6 hours since Tuesday.

Just gonna white knuckle it till Tuesday.

Yeah same tbh. But also I don’t expect this shit to really wrap up one way or another in anything less than a week, and then who knows what Johnson will try to pull at the electoral vote count in December…

This thing needs to be a blow out to keep it out of the SC.

Kamala needs to end Tuesday dominantly. 5/7 swing states +Iowa. Its gotta be such that they can't get one case alone to the SC that changes the results.

I guess the house goes up for sale and I'm back on duo lingo for my Spanish/ Portuguese?

Unlike most lemmings, I have an actually target on my back, and have been doxxed for my political organizing. I know for a fact I'm in some databases used by fascists/ right-wingers to doxx left wing organizers. I've seen how weak Democrats and their voters are when it comes to standing up to power. And while I hated her with great vitriol, I realized how dependent we were on the acumen of players like Pelosi to just hold this shit together for the four years of Trump we already survived. I hold no hope for the weakness which has been demonstrated to be the 2024 Democratic party.
