One article says she’s surging, another says it hasn’t been enough not to be extremely close. I look forward to being on the other side of this.

Donald Trump has given up on most states and has a singular path to victory.

But as Trump's team noticed: he can safely give up on most parts of this country and still win, even with fewer votes, as long as Trump wins North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

So that's the thing: the only votes that really matter are those three states, unless Harris flips something outlandish like Florida or Texas.


So Harris will be surging in the days and weeks ahead. Trump's team is focusing on the electoral college win, which gives him and Republicans a distinct advantage. That's why the race remains close.

These three states are where Trump and his team are spending the most money. So I expect the race to remain close there. Harris has lots and lots of money, she's already saturated the three main battleground states. She's got so much money its appropriate for her team to focus on longer-shot / less likely states, to help solidify the electoral college / provide an alternative path in case Trump wins the three main states.

It is surging. It started from her being very unpopular to being about even now.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

I bet maga types really hate her right now.

Oh, she's a woman. They've always hated her.

well. yeah.

They've always hated her. Now they really hate her. She's making their Orange Fuhrer look dumb. and proving he's a loser. so right now it's an extra special hate.
