The presidential battle between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains virtually tied after the candidates faced off onstage during their first debate.
But even in a close contest, there are some signs that Harris received the bigger boost poll-wise after a new poll from the New York Times-Philadelphia Inquirer-Siena College showed Harris leading Trump in Pennsylvania, the critical battleground state.
Several national polls, including the New York Times poll, either have the head-to-head matchup between the two candidates as either tied or with Harris again leading Trump but only by a few percentage points.
The Philadelphia debate on Sept. 10 may be the only time Harris and Trump face off this election cycle after Trump announced he was finished with these types of events. Since then, he was the target of an apparent second assassination attempt at his golf club in Florida.
With early voting beginning in a handful of states this week, the Washington Examiner reranked the battleground states according to which would be the hardest for the vice president to win.
