While most prognosticators believe the 2024 race for the White House will be one of the closest in history, former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele isn’t buying what they’re selling and predicts Vice President Kamala Harris is on the verge of winning in a popular and electoral vote landslide by flipping two Southern states that have long been GOP strongholds.
Steele, who is now a host and political analyst for MSNBC, said Sunday that Florida and North Carolina will be in Harris’ column when the votes are counted, as will Georgia, which was won four years ago by President Joe Biden.
“Florida and North Carolina will fall,” Steele predicted. “Along with Georgia.”
Florida has 30 electoral votes. North Carolina and Georgia each have 16.
A quick look at the latest polls from other key battleground states also show Harris ahead. If she wins the majority of them, she could easily secure 300+ electoral votes. 270 are needed to win.
The Hill reported on Sunday, “The poll, conducted by CBS News and YouGov, found Harris increased her lead in battleground states after the presidential debate and comes out on top with 51 percent support to Trump’s 49 percent. The battleground states included in the survey are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.”
Author and podcaster Steve Phillips concurred with Steele, noting that enthusiasm for Harris is likely to bring new voters to the polls in November, similar to the effect seen when Barack Obama ran in 2012 and turnout spiked.
“That coalition is bigger now than it was in 2012,” he said.
Steele agreed: “This coalition that’s being created right now by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is not just one to watch, but it’s gonna be one that the history books will study when I think she takes this thing to victory.”
Of course, the key to a Harris win and Democratic control of both houses of Congress is turnout. That means we have to vote in record numbers and send the Republicans packing.
