North Carolina and Georgia are now reportedly considered swing states by both parties, and the presidential election is becoming increasingly competitive.
This is a significant improvement from the situation prior to the involvement of Vice President Harris in the race.
Georgia, a state that Biden had previously won four years ago, appeared to be beyond reach with President Biden in the campaign against former President Trump.
“Post-Biden dropping out, Harris has gotten a lot of good polling out of places like Georgia and North Carolina. She is doing stronger among the African American segment than Joe Biden was, and then [there’s] enthusiasm among Democratic and some independent voters in these states — enthusiasm that she has that Joe Biden didn’t have.” Decision Desk HQ’s Scott Tranter remarked.
The odds seemed even longest in North Carolina, a state where Democrats have only won the presidential race twice in the past 50 years.
Now, that has been entirely altered, as both states have plainly transitioned to a toss-up status.
Harris is leading Trump by 0.1 percentage points in North Carolina and by 0.3 percentage points in Georgia, according to the Decision Desk HQ/The Hill’s aggregation of polls.
This indicates that both states are in a state of uncertainty.
