The Paths to 270 for Trump & Harris
A good examination of how each side could win in 19 maps.
(Spoiler: The math and the maps favor Trump, but not by a huge margin.)
A few quick observations.
* The undecided vote is still(!) believed to be around 4-6%. How they break could be decisive.
* Disaffected voters could swing the election either way. But the risk is greater for Harris given the extreme rancor in the political left over Israel and Gaza. There are also a lot of Muslim Americans in Michigan. Right now, I'd say that Jill Stein is a dagger pointed at the heart of the Harris campaign.
* The most likely path for a Harris victory (MI, WI and PA), especially if she wins them by very slim margins, could see her elected while losing the popular vote nationally. That would be flipping the usual script as Republicans generally believe the Electoral College gives them an edge in elections. It's how Trump won in 2016. But if this happens for Harris, expect MAGA world to erupt.
