I know that Kamala is spending the whole day at stops in Pennsylvania.
But Im wondering where others will be.
Walz?
Barack?
Michelle?
the Clintons?
the Bidens?

(11,812 posts)I know those three are remote possibilities (despite the Des Moines poll).
But Id love for Harris to come close enuf in Fl and Tx to pull our Senate candidates thru.

(28,834 posts)PA, WI, MI, + NE-2 is game over, Harris wins, so I expect those will continue to be the focus.
All three are highly important for the Senate, as well.
The campaign seems to be downplaying the Iowa poll, so their internals might show something different. Or, they believe that one of the big three is still close and needs to be the focus. PA obviously seems to be the primary target at present.
The rest of the swing states will likely be a priority over TX and FL.

(11,812 posts)I really want us to hold the Senate.
We will obviously lose WVA to make it 50-50.
Then we have to hold Ohio which is a tossup and Montana where GOP has small lead.
If we lose one of those, we would have to win Texas (which is a supposed tossup) or take Florida (where the GOP has a small lead).

(28,834 posts)Undecideds and late voters usually seem to break R here, and the races often end up not as close as they would appear. Polls have a hard time dealing with our weird long-term turnout issues, which are a product of decades of GOP efforts to reduce turnout. I'd obviously be thrilled if we broke the pattern this cycle. We've certainly been trying.
If Florida is going to break D in the Senate race, it would almost certainly be because of the past two weeks in the Trump campaign and not whether or not a Harris surrogate made an appearance before election day. But a huge chunk of voters already voted. Their early-voting numbers are insane, and the Rs have a one-million vote margin in early voting.
