Kamala Harris is currently increasing her efforts in the main swing states following a good debate performance earlier this week. The latest polls indicate that Harris is a rising star in Pennsylvania and Nevada, two more swing states that will play a critical role in the next presidential election. The Veep is to begin a campaign trip in Pennsylvania today, in a bid to firm up her vote base in the Keystone State.

The Harris campaign has received good reviews concerning her debate performance where most of the political analysts have described her as fully in charge of the issues and engaging to viewers. This controversy appears to have galvanised the Democratic voters, as the latest Gallup poll index of electoral sentiment shows that the Democrats’ voter enthusiasm is currently higher than it was before Barack Obama’s groundbreaking 2008 election campaign.

On the other hand, the candidate of the Republican party, former president Donald Trump declared that he would not agree to another presidential debate after the Harris campaign had called for an extra debate. The decision has been received with mixed feelings, with some of Trump’s fans supporting him while others are wondering whether it will cost him rating in the last one month to the election.

The race is still close with Harris only a few points behind Trump in the national polls. Nonetheless, her campaign team continues to be hopeful, citing that she has an increased favorability rating and performed well in the swing states. Harris is doing 4 points better than Joe Biden’s numbers done earlier in the year in Pennsylvania, Nevada and other swing states.

With the election fast approaching, both sides are gearing up their campaigns with greater vigour. It is very important to note that the race is still open and there are still 53 days left before the Election Day. Analyzing historical polling data, one can understand that it is very difficult to make up for such a deficit at this stage of the campaign, but it is still possible.

Harris team is hopeful of continuing on the energy gained from the prior debate and using celebrity influence such as Taylor Swift to get the vote out.

The first one is the Swift endorsement that has caused some ripples; the pop star posted on Instagram telling her followers to head to Vote. gov hence causing a lot of traffic on the site. It is uncertain how this would directly translate to actual votes but it has undeniably raised awareness about the election most especially among the younger generation.

The Republican candidate Trump will be holding a rally in Nevada in order to fortify his lead which is a slight one according to the polls. His campaign has been centered on issues like economy, immigration and law and order which had supported him in previous elections.

While mail in voting has started in several states including Alabama, both campaigns are now intensifying their efforts to get their supporters to the polls. The expansion of both the absentee and early voting, in part because of the continuing pandemic, is another dimension of the contest.

As the election approaches its climax, it becomes very important to notice every single gesture, recommendation or declaration. Harris and Trump are not leaving any room unturned to clinch the presidency which makes this one of the most keenly followed and most fiercely fought election in recent times.

As the date draws closer and closer to November 5th, all attention will be focused on the swing states and the constantly shifting polls that may indicate which way the election is going in this race.
