The claim's core is an evaluative judgment ('horrific') rather than a checkable fact. The sources show record overall early voting and a Democratic share advantage, with Republican early turnout roughly similar to 2022 in some data, but none of them grades the numbers as 'horrific' for the Trump-Vance administration.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… campaign and regime that you could possibly assemble scientifically, so you couldn't come up with this crap that we're seeing right here from the Trump vance regime. And this is just pathetic. They know right now that things look incredibly grim for them. The early voting numbers are really horrific for them. The polling is really horrific for them. I don't want anyone to get complacent when I say that. Do not take any of that for granted, absolutely not. Make sure you vote. Vote early if you can.

Context. Multiple sources report record or surging early voting nationally, with more than 43 to 48 million votes cast before Election Day as of late October 2026.[1][2][3][4]
Context. Sources report Democrats accounting for a larger share of early ballots (about 44% vs 31% for Republicans) and Republicans accounting for a smaller share than in 2022 in most Senate battleground states.[2][5][6]
Context. Some data shows Republican early-ballot numbers 'remain generally similar to 2022,' and analysts caution that early vote totals do not reliably predict final results.[2][7]
Context. The claim's wording departs from the passage only in replacing the speaker's 'for them' with 'for the Trump-Vance administration.' The passage's own words are the speaker's opinion, not evidence, and the 'horrific' characterization is hyperbole, which is not checkable as a fact.
