  • Biden’s withdrawal from the race creates an opening that positions Kamala Harris as the leading Democratic contender.

  • Nationally, Harris trailed Biden by about 3 points before the debate but reduced that gap to approximately 1 point afterward.

  • In key battleground states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, Harris lags behind Biden’s margins against Trump, complicating her Electoral College prospects.

  • Polls suggest Harris could invigorate the race and help rebuild an anti-Trump coalition despite variability in her support.
