The Facts
Anonymous sources on the campaign of US Vice Pres. Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, have reported that the campaign is bracing for a loss in at least one of the so-called "Blue Wall" states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Harris' campaign has reportedly sought to push for victories in Nevada and North Carolina just in case she loses one of the "Blue Wall" states. However, polls currently show Harris either tied or losing in those states.
Democrats won the "Blue Wall" states from 1992-2012 before Republican Donald Trump won them in 2016. Democrat Joe Biden won them in 2020, but recent RealClearPolitics polling averages show Trump slightly ahead in all three.
