The Facts

• The campaign of Democratic US presidential candidate Kamala Harris is reportedly preparing to lose at least one of the so-called "Blue Wall" states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, which have gone to Democrats in almost every election since 1992.

• The Blue Wall was won by Democrats from 1992-2012, then Donald Trump in 2016, before returning to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. However, recent RealClearPolitics polling averages have Trump slightly ahead in all three.

• Harris is expected to win the necessary 270 Electoral College (EC) votes if she takes both the Blue Wall and one EC vote from Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District. Pennsylvania, with 19 EC votes, is the primary focus of both candidates.
