Kamala Harris’ campaign manager recognizes that the “clearest path” to win was through Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, only three key states out of the seven at stake. “It’s an extremely close race », writes Jen O’Malley Dillon, who mentions neither Georgia nor North Carolina (southeast), emphasizing that we had to wait to know more about Arizona and Nevada (southwest) , where the polling stations have just closed.
There remains therefore the “blue wall”, the color of the Democratic party, namely Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, states located in the northeast of the country and in the Great Lakes region. . “We have always known that our clearest path to the 270 electors (the threshold to exceed to win in this indirect vote) goes through the blue wall states. We are happy with what we see there,” she assures. “We know that this race will not become clearer before early morning” on Wednesday, she adds.
Trump has already imposed himself on the famous “blue wall”
This message from Jen O’Malley Dillon comes at a time when Donald Trump has taken a serious lead in the breathtaking duel between former President Donald Trump and Vice-President Kamala Harris, even if the Republican seems reinforced by provisional counts in several Decisive states. In 2020, Joe Biden won over Donald Trump by winning in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, but also in Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. The Republican, on the other hand, won in the famous “blue wall” in 2016, when he defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.
