Left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, who correctly predicted former President Donald Trump would win in 2016 and that Republicans would not have a blowout victory in 2022, has a new prognostication on CNN: Vice President Kamala Harris does not need to run away from liberal causes to win in 2024.
That's because, he argued, the same army of women who stormed the polls in 2022 will dictate 2024 — and then some — driven now, as then, by the same rage over the loss of abortion rights, that has only driven more grim headlines in recent months.
"There is thinking that you're aware of from, I think, Democrats in the political class, who say, 'Yeah, but Harris needs people in the middle and liberals are going to vote for her regardless, why would they stay home? It's as good as a vote for Trump,'" said anchor Brianna Keilar. "What do you say to that reasoning?"

"I honestly think we're going to have one of our largest turnouts ever," said Moore. "I don't think that many people are going to stay home. I certainly hope not because of everything that's at stake."
Democrats, he said, are "such a frightened group of people. I mean ... they still think that Trump is going to win. This is kind of shocking to me, like, don't you live with people? Are you not aware that there's going to be a tsunami of women voting between now and Election Day? That they were told 2 1/2 years ago that they no longer control their own bodies. They no longer have a say. If they get pregnant, an unplanned pregnancy, the law now is that in many of our states, that you have to have that baby. If we have to do whatever we have to do, sort of a legal version of strapping you down to the table until you birth that baby. That's Soviet. That's the law of the land now."
For anyone who believes women will just "tolerate" being treated that way, he added, "Do you not know any women? Do you not live with a woman? Is there a next-door neighbor? Is there somebody you could just go ask them, 'So what do you think about my gender here? My gender? Nobody can tell me what to do with my body.' And maybe some people should. I'm just saying. But seriously."
