The sources document Kamala Harris's 2024 total as roughly 75 million votes, but none report 2026 midterm vote totals, so the claim that the 2026 winner will receive more votes is a forecast the sources cannot check. The post itself is a prediction about midterm turnout and enthusiasm, not a reported result.

… And I, I, I wanna yeah, go ahead, Blake, please. It's just as you say, the biggest threat i like to highlight this whenever we're talking about elections during our live streams midterms, the winner, the biggest vote getter in any of the races here, is going to get far fewer than Kamala Harris got in 2024, getting creamed by Donald Trump. Turnout is way lower in these midterms. It's all about enthusiasm. It's all about, are your people feeling fired up? …
The Charlie Kirk Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. Multiple tier1 sources put Harris's 2024 national total at about 75 million votes (75,017,613 per FEC data), with Reuters reporting 74.7 million as of early counts.[1][2]
Context. None of the provided sources report any 2026 midterm race results or vote totals, so the vote count of the 2026 'biggest vote getter' cannot be verified.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
Context. The claimant's post forecasts that midterm turnout will be much lower and that the top 2026 vote-getter will receive far fewer votes than Harris did; this is a projection about a future quantity, not a checkable fact, and the passage itself is not evidence.
