Kamala Harris secures her first electoral vote this week

The battle for the first battleground electoral vote in the election may have been decided this week through private polls, with Vice President Kamala Harris likely to win. Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District is a highly competitive area that could determine the outcome of the Electoral College and the presidency. President Trump’s efforts to change the law in Nebraska to give all electors to the statewide winner failed this week, as GOP state Sen. Mike McDonnell refused to back the plan. Democrats lobbied McDonnell successfully, pointing to the enthusiasm for the Harris campaign in the district. Private Democratic polls showed that McDonnell’s chances of winning a mayoral race would improve if he didn’t support Trump. Another private poll showed Harris leading Trump by 9 percentage points in the district. While the district is not the most likely tipping point in the election, it could indicate the overall winner. Despite feeling confident about Harris’ chances in the district, Democrats are continuing their efforts to reach out to voters and secure the electoral vote. Campaign efforts have been lopsided, with Democrats spending significantly more on ads in the district compared to Republicans. Both parties are closely watching the district, which could have a significant impact on the outcome of the election.
