Kamala Harris Faces Tight Race Against Trump in Battleground States

Oct 5, 2024, 01:18 PM

Kamala Harris' presidential campaign is facing multiple challenges as the 2024 election approaches. Polls indicate a tight race between Harris and Donald Trump, making it one of the closest elections in a generation. Harris' campaign continues to require employees to be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, a mandate that has largely disappeared from public life. Additionally, Harris has not held a formal press conference in 76 days since becoming the Democratic nominee. Her campaign strategy for the final month includes focusing on January 6th, democracy, and Trump's character, while limiting interviews, town halls, and press conferences. Harris' years of public smears and snubs to Catholics have left her underwater with this critical voting bloc. Pollster John Zogby notes that the election is expected to fluctuate in the seven battleground states.
