Harris’s “profile makes her an awkward fit in a closely watched, economically hard-pressed working-class region that’s historically been a locus of anti-abortion activity.”On the eve of the 2020 election, the RealClearPolitics average of polls in Pennsylvania showed President Joe Biden leading former President Donald Trump byThe average had tightened significantly since Sept. 29, 2020, when Biden led by 5.7%.
It’s the cultural dissonance with Harris, a Californian and woman of color who has spearheaded the party’s post-abortion messaging. That profile makes her an awkward fit in a closely watched, economically hard-pressed working-class region that’s historically been a locus of anti-abortion activity. Harris has the distinction of being the first vice president or president ever to visit an abortion clinic, an occasion that she has boasted about. How will that fly with the folks in Lackawanna County? Pssst. It won’t.
Based on this history, a dead heat in the polls, accompanied by a stall in momentum for Harris that has persisted for over a month, could mean that Trump is actually slightly ahead. We know her honeymoon has been over for some time and part of that is because the electorate has gotten to know her a little better.
