The “blue wall” states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania have paved the path to the White House for the last two Democratic presidents.

But with just 14 days until the Nov. 5 election, there are concerns within Kamala Harris’ campaign about whether the vice president can claim all three states.

Recent discussions have centered on the possibility of an anomaly happening this year with just part of the blue wall breaking its way. The conversations have focused on whether Michigan or Wisconsin “fall” to former President Donald Trump while the two other states go blue, according to three sources with knowledge of the campaign’s strategy.

Losing Wisconsin or Michigan would mean that even if Harris secures Pennsylvania — where both Harris and Trump have spent the most time and resources — she would not reach the necessary 270 electoral votes to win the White House without winning another battleground state or possibly two.

“There has been a thought that maybe Michigan or Wisconsin will fall off,” said a senior Harris campaign official, who stressed that the bigger concern is over Michigan. Two other people with knowledge of campaign strategy — who, like others in this article, were granted anonymity to speak candidly — also underscored deep concern about Michigan. Those people still believe that all the states are close and that there are alternative routes to victory.

1. After TFG performance insulting Detroit, Michigan is safe

If you wanted to come up with a GOTV plan. Having your opponent insult the largest city in a state with a large minority population would be a great start.

2. More Democrats In Disarray?

Media folks getting bored?

3. There is no evidence of this yet

NBC should get a life. Welker started sanitizing dictatorship by giving Trump his first interview. Let us hear dictator's views, she said.

4. Names, people. Don't you realize that "a senior campaign official" without a name is a clue that the story is phony?

Who, in the Harris campaign would say this, and why, especially after a solid poll shows her up by 3 where she has been forever in Michigan, and one poll that has her up by 8.

And then, uh, I see. It's NBC news. So here they go pushing their narrative without support.

What the hell are they teaching journalism students in college? No verified facts, no names, no story. That used to be the rule.
