Kamala Harris Gains Ground in Key Battleground States

Recent polls indicate that Vice President Kamala Harris is either leading or tied with former President Donald Trump in six of the seven critical battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This represents a notable shift, particularly in North Carolina, where Trump previously enjoyed a substantial lead.


In Nevada, Trump retains a narrow advantage. New voter registration figures from two key swing states suggest that Harris’s campaign has successfully mobilized potential Democratic voters.


Additionally, Democrats received a boost with new data showing U.S. inflation fell below 3 percent in July. This drop is expected to strengthen the case for a Federal Reserve rate cut in mid-September, potentially enhancing economic sentiment in the U.S. under President Biden as the November election approaches.
