Former President Donald Trump played a devastating montage of video clips featuring Vice President Kamala Harris touting her far-left policies in her own words. During his Bozeman, Mont., rally, Trump first warmed up the crowd by asking them if they’d like to hear her spout her own policies, which led to a raucous response.

In the video, Harris admitted she was a “radical,” that she opposed “fracking,” was in favor of an ‘assault weapon ban’ and mandatory government buy-back programs for such weapons, as well as socialist healthcare and other far-left policy positions she is now attempting to back away from. The montage is likely to serve as a brutal reminder to voters what they are likely in for if Harris and her equally far-left running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, would win in November.
But that said, Saturday’s RealClearPolitics 2024 electoral map showed Trump leading in four key battleground states and narrowly defeating Harris in November. Despite his campaign facing challenges from a resurgent Harris, Trump remained ahead in key battleground states including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As of Saturday morning, Harris had not yet emerged as the frontrunner for the White House in November.
The map had none of the states the candidates needed to win in its toss-up column but did show Trump beating Harris in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, the Saturday RCP electoral map found Harris keeping both Michigan and Wisconsin away from Trump for the second election in a row.
In 2016, Trump secured victory over Hillary Clinton with 304 Electoral College votes—exceeding the 270 needed to win the presidency—by capturing Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona, while losing Nevada. If Saturday’s RCP holds, the polling aggregator’s map shows Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) defeating Harris and her running mate Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz 287-251. Meanwhile, an Ipsos poll released Thursday found Trump and Harris in a “statistical dead heat” in seven battleground states.
Ipsos reported: “A new poll of Americans living in the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada finds Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are in a statistical dead heat for the presidency. The survey shows that many people in swing states are concerned with inflation, immigration, and political extremism or polarization. When asked how the candidates perform on these, Trump outperforms Harris on inflation and immigration, while neither candidate has a clear lead on the issue of political extremism and polarization.”
