Presidential candidates are homing in on key battleground states in the final stretch.
With just two weeks until Election Day, polls show a neck-and-neck race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in seven battleground states, which are likely to determine the winner of the White House in November.
Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, maintains a slight national lead over Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, according to RealClearPolitics, but recent polls show that the initial enthusiasm for her campaign is fading as the presidential race enters its final stretch.
In late July and August, the Harris campaign experienced a significant boost in support, making steady gains in key swing states. Those gains appear to have stalled, according to pollsters, indicating that she has mostly consolidated her potential support.
Democratic strategist Theryn Bond notes that further gains will be challenging from this point onward.
She told The Epoch Times that Harris’s challenge arises in part from her campaign’s messaging and inability to distinguish herself from President Joe Biden regarding policies.
“New means different, and so show us how you’re going to be different,” Bond said, referring to her campaign slogan “New Way Forward.”
