Or dig them up and bring them to the debate
Hey did you hear Trump's chances of winning don't look good?
Just over a month ago, Trump allies suggested Democratic-leaning states like Minnesota, Virginia even New Jersey might be in play. Neither side believes that is still the case on Labor Day weekend.
In replacing Biden as the party’s nominee, Harris is now winning Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina.
Republican pollster Paul Schumaker, an adviser to North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, said even a slight uptick in the Black vote has the potential to give Harris the edge in North Carolina
“If Kamala Harris could get them to turn out at the rate of
Republicans in rural North Carolina, game over for Republicans,” Schumaker said of Black voters.
Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,
Those seven states — in addition to swing districts in Nebraska and Maine that each award single Electoral College votes — will draw virtually all of the candidates’ attention and resources over the next eight weeks.
But in the other five battleground states, Harris largely has the airwaves largely to herself — at least for now.
Trump and his allied super PACs have made only marginal ad reservations in Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Nevada to date. Harris’ team, by comparison, is investing no less than $21 million in each of the five states, according to an AdImpact analysis.
Harris’ team also boasts more than 300 coordinated offices and 2,000 staff on the ground in swing states, according to her campaign’s weekend memo. Trump’s campaign has only a few dozen dedicated offices, relying instead on less experienced outside groups to ensure their supporters show up on Election Day.
For now, Harris also has a slight advantage on some key traits among independents
For example, about 3 in 10 independents say that “honest” describes Harris better, while about 2 in 10 say it describes Trump better. About 3 in 10 also say that “committed to democracy” describes Harris better, while less than 2 in 10 say it describes Trump better.
