Harris zeroes in on key states as presidential race enters final stretch

In the final weeks of the presidential race‚ Kamala Harris is concentrating her efforts on the so-called “blue wall“ states: Pennsylvania Michigan and Wisconsin. This strategy reflects a lesson learned from Hillary Clintons loss eight years back

Harris schedule is packed with events in these key areas. She visited Erie Pennsylvania (10/14/24) Detroit Michigan (10/15/24) and Washington Crossing Pennsylvania (10/16/24). Her agenda includes:

• Meeting students at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
• Holding events in Michigan
• Campaigning in Detroit

The vice presidents focus on these states doesnt mean shes ignoring other battlegrounds. She recently visited North Carolina and plans to return to Georgia soon

Democratic pollster Joel Benenson explains‚ “You dont take those states for granted And shes not.“ He adds that the party learned a painful lesson in 2016 when they didnt pay enough attention to these crucial areas

Harris campaign is using various tactics to connect with voters. Sheʼs collaborating with celebrities (like Don Cheadle and Delroy Lindo) participating in radio town halls and emphasizing key policies in strategic locations

You win Pennsylvania‚ and youʼre the next president

The Democratic campaign has some advantages: a united front of high-profile politicians‚ substantial funding and extensive organizational networks. However theyʼre not taking anything for granted

Melanie Woods a retired school principal who traveled from Brooklyn to attend Harris event in Washington Crossing‚ said “In 2016 we thought we had it‚ you know we thought we were okay And I dont think you can ever take anything for granted any more“

As the election approaches Harris team is banking on her ability to build a broad coalition of voters. Their strategy – focusing on the “blue wall“ while maintaining presence in other battlegrounds – reflects the tight race ahead
