Latest numbers: across the seven battleground states, the '20-'24 swing towards Trump was ~3.1 pts. Across the other 43 states (+DC), it was ~6.7 pts.

Bottom line: the Harris campaign swam impressively against some very strong underlying currents.
More evidence that this election could have been a lot worse if 1. Biden didn't drop out or 2. Kamala didn't run as strong of a campaign as she did (infra-structurally.)
This along with this tweet I shared in another post, strongly hints that the Democrats would have had to run an exceptional once-in-lifetime campaign to win. Just sucks that this happened at the same time Donald Trump was running on the GOP side. If only we didn't have a FPTP system.
