Harris vs. Trump Prediction: Swing States: Mark Halperin says Kamala Harris is not doing well in Georgia, NC, Arizona

Mark Halperin said Kamala Harris is not doing well in four of seven swing states.

Of the seven swing states of 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 only have 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 that while Kamala Harris could win Pennsylvania, she could lose the White House as well as Wisconsin.
Citing one Democratic and two Republican sources, Halperin said they would be “somewhere between surprised and shocked” if Harris won Wisconsin. If she doesn't win Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona, she'll have to win Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin to defeat Trump, but she's in trouble in Wisconsin.
Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris in the Sun Belt swing states, but Halperin said he doesn't think it's impossible for Harris to win some of the Sun Belt states. “I don’t think she gave up. It has so much money and so much money is still flowing in that it can fully finance these states. But if you ask about the Electoral College calculations, they certainly don't emphasize the Sun Belt. Halperin said.

“For a time when she replaced [President] Joe Biden, there's been talk that the Sun Belt strategy may be better for them than it was for Joe Biden. “But if they can’t win Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin 100%, they’re pretty close at this point,” Halperin said.
“As their chances of winning the four larger Sun Belt states have declined, that gives Trump more opportunity to get to 270… The reality of the private polls differing from the public polls on both sides – and Trump is aware “It's clear that they have a chance to win all three Midwestern states, the Great Lakes states,” he added. “And he'll probably need one to win. And he's leading a movement, she's not. And the doubts about her remain.”
With just two days left until Election Day, polls are undecided and predicting a close vote. Election guru Nate Silver criticized pollsters and accused them of lying about a close poll. Silver said most poll respondents expect a close race because they have their finger on the scale; They don't give honest numbers.
