Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele, who is now a frequent critic of the party, reportedly stated on Sunday that he believes Vice President Harris will win the general election, which would result in the shifting of North Carolina and Florida.
Steele concurred with author and podcast presenter Steve Phillips, who stated that Florida and North Carolina are “now in play” for Harris. Phillips cited an increase in support and enthusiasm from Black voters in critical swing states.
“This coalition that’s being created right now by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is not just one to watch, but it’s going to be one that the history books will study, when, I think, she takes this thing to victory,” Steele said during a recent MSNBC interview.
“Florida and North Carolina will fall, along with Georgia,” he added.
According to Steele, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision by the Supreme Court, which invalidated the federal right to abortion, could provide Harris with an opportunity to engage the center-right demographic of voters who oppose restrictive abortion laws but would have otherwise supported Republican candidates.
He also stated that he believes Harris has the capacity to form a historic coalition that encompasses voters beyond those of Obama and Biden.
