Harris and Trump Place Their Chips on Different States

“Democrats have spent the last year eyeing a familiar trio of northern states that would deliver the White House in November: Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are the ‘clearest pathway’ to victory, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign leaders wrote in July — as long as she also picks up a single electoral vote in the Omaha area,” the Washington Post reports.

“The Trump team, meanwhile, has been focused on its own path in the Eastern time zone, a veritable ‘Red Wall’ trifecta that overlaps with the northern ‘Blue Wall’ around the Great Lakes.”

Said one Trump campaign official: “As long as we hold North Carolina, we just need to win Georgia and Pennsylvania. That is all we need to win. So when everybody is running around with all the machinations, she’s still playing defense.”
