Out of the seven swing states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, vice president Kamala Harris is not doing well in Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona, Newsmax political analyst Mark Halperin said adding that she may have only one viable path to an Electoral College victory. She’s basically back to where Joe Biden was on the eve of the debate, Halperin said adding Kamala Harris may win Pennsylvania but lose the White House as she may lose Wisconsin.
Citing one Democrat and two Republican sources, Halperin said that they would be “somewhere between surprised and shocked” if Harris wins Wisconsin. If she does not win Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona, she must sweep Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin to defeat Trump but she is in trouble in Wisconsin.
Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris in the Sun Belt swing states but Halperin said he does not think it’s impossible for Harris to win some of the Sun Belt states. “I don’t think she’s given up. She’s got so much money and it’s still coming in that she can fully fund those states. But if you’re asking about their Electoral College calculations, they’re certainly not emphasizing the Sun Belt,” Halperin said.
“For a time when she replaced [President] Joe Biden, there was some talk of perhaps the Sun Belt strategy is a better one for her as compared to Joe Biden. But if they’re not 100% down to winning Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, they’re pretty close to it at this point,” Halperin said.
“As her chances of winning the four bigger Sun Belt states have receded, that gives Trump more options to get to 270 … The reality of the private polling, which differs from the public polling on both sides — and Trump is, you know — got a chance to win all three of the Midwestern states, the Great Lake states,” he added. “And he just probably will need one to win it. And he leads a movement, she doesn’t. And doubts about her continue.”
With only two days left for Election Day, polls are indecisive and are predicting a close poll. Election guru Nate Silver slammed the pollsters and accused them of lying about a close poll. Silver said most of the polls are coming up with a close race because they have their finger on the scale; they are not giving honest figures.
