In reply to the discussion: Poll: Should the Harris/Walz campaign make stops in Ohio, Florida, and Texas? [View all]Self Esteem
(1,716 posts)Mine is the fact Harris has been in this race now about two half months and she's made zero stops in any of those three states. My source is sitting in every Monday with my state party on a conference call with the Harris campaign and other state parties going over the state of the race and where they're focusing most their attention. My source is that we've got just a bit over a month left in the campaign and they're still looking at coin flip results in most the states Biden flipped in 2020.
There is a reason Harris hasn't stepped foot in Florida or Ohio or Texas since becoming the presumptive and then official nominee and it's because they know all three states are significant long shots that they do not need to get to 270.
Where is Walz literally at the writing of this post? Pennsylvania.
That will be their focus: Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. They see that as their best path to victory. Then after that, it's Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.
Those will be the states you see Harris and Walz in between now and election day, with Nevada joining them.
There isn't enough time to start seriously campaigning in Ohio or Texas or Florida. Not when there are zero polls, public or internal, that have her tied in those states, let alone up.
