Kamala Harris is in panic mode after admitting these two swing states are slipping away

There are less than two weeks to go before Election Day.

This is when campaigns have to make tough decisions about the electoral map.

And Kamala Harris is in panic mode after admitting these two swing states are slipping away.

Kamala Harris’ campaign admits it’s in trouble in Midwest battleground 

The 2024 Election will come down to seven battleground states.

Three are in the much talked about “Blue Wall” – the Rust Belt states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

Polls show a tight race but former President Donald Trump is ahead in all three according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.

Democrats carried all three states in every Presidential Election starting in 1992 except for 2016, when Trump beat Hillary Clinton.

Sweeping all three is Kamala Harris’ clearest – and maybe only – path to 270 Electoral College votes.

But even those holding that the “Blue Wall” is Kamala’s chance at victory, there is internal panic in the campaign about the state of play in the Midwest.

“There has been a thought that maybe Michigan or Wisconsin will fall off,” a senior Kamala campaign official told NBC News.

Respected instate pollster Mitchell’s latest survey had Trump up one in Michigan.

Quinnipiac showed him leading by four.

NBC News reported that two other Kamala campaign sources said the Democrats were bracing for the probability of defeat in Michigan.

“Two other people with knowledge of campaign strategy — who, like others in this article, were granted anonymity to speak candidly — also underscored deep concern about Michigan. Those people still believe that all the states are close and that there are alternative routes to victory,” NBC News also reported.

Kamala’s problems in Michigan 

If Kamala Harris does lose in Michigan there are two likely culprits.

First is her support for a ban on gas-powered cars.

Kamala backing a mandate forcing Americans to drive electric Kamalamobiles will put hundreds of thousands of Michiganders who work in the auto industry out of a job.

Democrats also saw an erosion in support among Muslin voters over the war in Gaza.

A poll taken of Muslims showed Trump winning a plurality of the vote.

“Forty-five percent of respondents said they are most likely to vote for Trump, while 43% said they would likely cast ballots for Harris, according to the results shared early with Semafor. Trump’s edge is within the survey’s margin of error. Another 4% said they would vote for Jill Stein, 6% said they were undecided, and 2% declined to say their choice,” Semafor reported.

There are 300,000 Muslims living in Michigan.

President Joe Biden won 69 percent of this vote in 2020 according to some polls.

If Democrats drop a state in the Rust Belt, they hoped to make up for it by picking off a Sun Belt state or two.

North Carolina seemed like the best bet.

However, the Kamala campaign leaked to NBC that according to early vote data and internal polling, North Carolina is falling off the board.

“Of all of the seven [states], that one seems to be a little bit slipping away,” a Kamala campaign official said to NBC.

The electoral map for Kamala Harris is contracting in the closing weeks of the campaign. 

And that’s not a place any campaign wants to be in.
