Two things can be true: Kamala Harris can be in a far better position to win the race AND the supposed collapse of Trump and failure of the J.D. Vance pick is false.
First, let’s get real: Biden was not doing as well as he needed to in order to win in November, and one of his key problems was that his popularity with women was too low. Harris has been able to shore up her support with women and that has allowed her to gain ground against Trump and be tied or a bit ahead at this point in the race.
Harry Enten at CNN (yes, I know, but he is very good) breaks it down:
Women voters are fueling Kamala Harris’ surge. She is doing 7 pts better among them than Biden did. Meanwhile, no movement among men voters nationally. This patterns holds in the key swing states too.
If those NYT polls are right, we could be looking at a historic gender gap. pic.twitter.com/rnPHkILdYP
