Diminishing Chances of Victory for Kamala Harris: Blue Wall Last Hope for Democrats

washington - Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is relying on the blue wall for potential opportunities as her chances seem to be decreasing.

The victory of Donald Trump in North Carolina was a blow for the Democrats. However, the loss of Georgia was a major setback. The swing state not only went to Joe Biden in 2020, but also became the center of a high-profile lawsuit against the Republican for alleged attempts to manipulate that previous lost battle.

Wins in both states mean that Trump now has 246 electoral votes compared to 182 for Harris. A total of 270 electoral votes are needed for a victory.

It was confirmed that the Harris camp is feeling bleak with the announcement from her campaign that the vice president will not appear at her own election night party at Howard University in Washington. Most of the crowd had already dispersed by then.

American TV channels are reporting the results intensely. Network CNN seemed close to giving the last sacraments to the Democrats for this election. Commentators who initially believed that the abortion issue would give Harris an advantage were now discussing the impact of the economy and inflation on voters.

The Democrats are pinning their hopes on the Blue Wall: the swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. However, current results from these states also paint a grim picture for Harris. She is behind in all three states. The key swing state Pennsylvania shows a three percent gap with 92 percent of the votes counted. Winning Pennsylvania is crucial for Harris to have a chance. Trump is also leading in Nevada and Arizona.

As if a looming defeat in the race for the White House is not bad enough for the Democrats, the party is also losing the Senate majority to the Republicans. The battle is still undecided in the House of Representatives. A Republican majority in the Senate will have a significant impact on the appointment of officials and the nomination of Supreme Court justices in case of vacancies.

If things indeed turn out to be this dramatic for the Democrats, internal unrest within the party is expected to rise. Just under four months ago, prominent figures like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer led a party rebellion against sitting President Joe Biden, urging him to withdraw as the presidential candidate despite winning the nomination through primaries. This campaign ultimately propelled Harris to become the candidate.
