It has been a dream start to Kamala Harris's bid for the White House, and supporters are confident she'll beat Donald Trump in the popular vote — but the Electoral College is a different story.
Kamala Harris 's supporters are confident she'll beat Donald Trump in the popular vote — but the Electoral College is a different story.The party's convention was a raging success, crowds are packing into her campaign rallies and the Democratic presidential nominee is now pulling ahead of Donald Trump in several national opinion polls.
The Electoral College is a group of electors appointed by each state , with the total number of electors equal to the number of members in Congress. It's a different story in the solidly Democratic and Republican states, and herein lies a potential path of disappointment for Harris. We've seen this pattern in the past two elections. Democrats racked up large popular-vote margins in the big states, but struggled to win the swing states where elections are decided.
"Racking up big majorities in New York and California doesn't help if you can't win these swing states that are so important to winning the Electoral College overall and that's the dilemma that Harris faces," Dr Reilly says.
