CNN’s Harry Enten Breaks Down Why Polls Show Kamala Harris Has ‘Better Chance’ of Beating Trump Than Biden Does

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at a rally today in North Carolina and following her remarks received a strong vote of confidence from CNN data guru Harry Enten on her chances to beat Donald Trump in November.

“Because you say we believe health care should be a right and not just a privilege of those who can afford it. Pull up the split screen, whereas the last administration gave tax cuts to billionaires. We gave tax cuts to families through the child tax credit,” Harris said in her remarks carried on CNN, adding:

Which cut child poverty in America by half.

And please do note their Project 2025 agenda would even end Head Start to take away preschool from hundreds of thousands of our children. On the issue of the cost of living. Donald Trump says he will implement a 10% tariff on all imported goods. Well, understand independent economists agree his tariffs would increase the cost of everyday expenses for families, the cost of gas, groceries, and clothing. We, on the other hand, have taken on Big Pharma, the big banks, and big corporations to bring down costs.

CNN anchor Boris Sanchez cut away and said, “We’ve been listening to Vice President Kamala Harris live in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a state that Democrats believe they can win in November.”

“Of course, her remarks come as there are serious questions from Democrats about whether Joe Biden, the president, should remain at the top of the ticket given concerns about his mental acuity dating back to a CNN debate. Now, some 3 or 4 potentially weeks ago, I want to point out during the vice president’s remarks, she actually started by thanking service members, saying she and the president are so proud of the U.S. military, even touting a health care expansion for veterans. This comes one day after perhaps the most powerful moment thus far of the Republican National Convention, when Gold Star families came forward naming loved ones who died during the Abbey Gate suicide bombing during the withdrawal from Afghanistan, a moment in which they said that President Biden mishandled,” Sanchez said as he eventually turned to Enten.

“Harry, could Kamala Harris win if she were to take on Donald Trump?” Sanchez asked.

“I don’t only believe she could win, I believe she stands a better chance of winning than the current president, Joe Biden. And we can see that in two important states, right. Virginia, which is, of course, just north of North Carolina, and then the pivotal Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which if Joe Biden doesn’t win, that map is cooked for him,” Enten replied, adding:

So let’s take a look at those two states. And what do we see there? What we see is in them, both of those states, we see that Kamala Harris is running stronger than Joe Biden is in Pennsylvania. Joe Biden’s down by three points to Donald Trump. Harris is down by just one. In Virginia, a state Democrats have won in every single election going back to 2008. Yes, Biden is ahead, but just by three, Harris is ahead by five. And this is a consistent pattern that we have seen throughout the electoral map.
