That puts her 25 points underwater with the very voters she needs to sway.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten is ringing an alarm bell for Kamala Harris, suggesting that even though she is leading by a point or two in some national polls, she is in the ‘danger zone’ in the swing states where it matters most. Her numbers may not be enough to get her across the finish line because of our Electoral College system. If Harris somehow pulls out the popular vote in November but loses the election, we will once again be subjected to the left’s white-hot rage against the Electoral College, just like in 2016. FOX News reports: Kamala Harris...
