Summary

FOX News Pollster and Political Science Professor Daron Shaw lays out how each key swing state currently looks for both former President Trump and Vice President Harris. Does it all come down to Pennsylvania, or are there other scenarios where it could come down to Arizona, Wisconsin, or even a wild card? With the race for Senate coming down to the wire, a 50-50 tie is certainly in the realm of possibility. Both sets of Republican leadership have their elections scheduled for November 13th. However, there is a chance we won't know which party controls Congress by then. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram gives a brief history of ties in Congress and breaks down what races to watch on Tuesday.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Voting may be emotional, but the electoral map is all about the math,

0:13.0

and each candidate has a quick path and less quick paths to 270.

If Harris can't carry Pennsylvania, she probably would need to carry North Carolina plus Nevada.

I'm Ryan Schmels. The race for control of Congress goes down to the wire, and with margins this tight,

0:30.7

anything could happen, including a tie. The Senate has had ties before back in the 1950s.

0:36.3

There was a tie in the late 19th century, but the Senate was a little bit of a different place then. I mean, the Senate is considered to be a body of equals.

This is the Fox News rundown from Washington.

The last batch of Fox polls at our new Fox News power rankings dropped this week just days out from the election. In the latest polls of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina among likely voters in two-way matchups, it's tied within the margin of error.

1:10.0

Though some other data in Michigan

1:11.5

shows Vice President Harris doing better than she had been. For example, on immigration,

1:16.1

the former president's ahead, on abortion, she's ahead. But as Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer breaks it

sometimes in the polling as much as double digits, all right?

1:29.4

In this particular moment, in the state of Michigan, he leads, but it is by two points plus two for Trump.

1:36.9

This past week, the Fox News power rankings put Arizona in the lean Republican category and out of toss-up territory.

1:42.7

And if that's the case, then we assume the former

1:44.8

president goes into election night with 230 electoral votes. Vice President Harris goes in with 226.

1:50.7

But Fox News special report anchor Brett Baer posed the possibility based on polling that if Arizona
