A reset in the race for president?

Fresh polling shows the Democratic ticket having an edge in three key states.

Time now for our Politics Monday duo, that's Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report

with Amy Walter and Tam or Keith of NPR.

Hello.

Hello.

So Amy, Vice President Kamala Harris now leads former President Donald Trump in three

crucial battleground states according to new surveys by the New York Times in

Seattle College that's Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Walk us through the

numbers because this is still we should say a competitive race. This is in the

battleground those are the three battleground states that if we should say a competitive race. This is and the battleground

those are the three battleground states that if Kamala Harris were to win just those

three and in a single electoral vote in Nebraska she would get to 270 electoral votes.

She could lose all those other states that we talk about in the Sunbelt,

like Arizona and Nevada, but still win the Electoral College with those three.

I think what you're noticing, and we've talked about this previously about where

her successes come she has consolidated the Democratic base a lot of folks who were

sitting on the sidelines who either were not happy with Biden or were uninspired by

Biden. We're thinking about voting for a third party candidate. They have now

consolidated behind Harris's candidacy.

Why that matters, of course, is that it's now that the two sides now have both equal interest in the election.

Their partisan bases are equally interested
