However, it&#8217;s also clear that this &#8220;momentum&#8221; seems to have plateaued, as reflected in the data. CNN&#8217;s political director David Chalian addressed this issue in a now-famous segment from Wednesday morning&#8217;s broadcast, where he attempted to frame the stalled momentum positively but acknowledged looming challenges. <\/p>\n<p>Chalian noted that there is still potential for Harris to strengthen her support among Black voters, which will be crucial for her success in key states like Georgia and Pennsylvania that are considered toss-ups. He pointed out her significant advantage among Latino voters in Nevada but contrasted it with Trump&#8217;s lead among Latino voters in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Chalian highlighted specific demographics where Harris may struggle against former President Trump, particularly with white voters without college degrees\u2014an important base for Trump\u2014and mentioned her lack of strong support from white college-educated voters in battleground states like Georgia. CNN host Kate Bolduan described this situation as a critical reality check for both campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the discussion, Chalian referenced recent polling data showing how competitive the race is overall. While Harris has an edge outside of the margin of error in Wisconsin and Michigan, Trump holds a similar advantage in Arizona. In states like Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, however, there is no clear frontrunner within the margin of error.
