As the 2024 US presidential race intensifies, expert Jörg Schönenborn notes that Donald Trump has been closing the gap in polls against Kamala Harris, with Pennsylvania emerging as a pivotal state for victory. Survey results show a near tie, highlighting the importance of swing states where outcomes remain uncertain. Issues like economic dissatisfaction and rising living costs dominate voter concerns, influencing both candidates. While Harris appeals to a more feminized Democratic base, especially among younger voters, uncertainty looms regarding Trump’s potential acceptance of election results. The outcome could reshape the Senate balance, with expectations leaning towards a Republican majority.
