Silver says Harris must secure more young, independent and non-college-educated voters, who are more likely to be undecided.
Pollster Nate Silver said Vice President Kamala Harris needs some of the 'weird' voters to beat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.On SubStack, Silver wrote about Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, using the strategy this summer of calling some Trump supporters 'weird,' which seemed to have minimal impact on voters.
In our simulations on Monday, Harris projected to get 51.0 percent of the popular vote — and the Electoral College was a toss-up. More than that and she likely wins; less, and she probably loses. Trump, conversely, has a target line of 48.7 percent of the vote; that reflects the likely slant of the Electoral College toward the GOP,' Silver said.Silver's October 14 forecast showed that the Democratic presidential nominee's chances of winning the Electoral College had plummeted to 51.
