The Presidential election is headed toward another photo finish.
But the race might not play out like any of the pundits expect.
And this Clinton advisor let Laura Ingraham in on one secret that could shake up the Presidential race.
Kamala Harris has a surprising weakness in the Rust Belt
Former President Donald Trump holds a narrow lead in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina.
If he can win all three of those states, Vice President Kamala Harris’ only path to victory would be a sweep of the Rust Belt swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Winning one of those states along with Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina would get Trump over 270 Electoral Votes and send him back to the White House.
Democrat pollster Doug Schoen, who previously worked for former President Bill Clinton, told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that Trump’s gains with minority voters could propel him to victory in the Rust Belt swing states during an appearance on The Ingraham Angle.
“I think what we’re seeing is the working class vote is moving in the direction of Trump,” Schoen said. “Non-college educated voters, blue-collar men, are all moving in Trump’s direction.”
“Some movement, as you suggested, Laura, among minorities in Wisconsin, African Americans, to Trump,” he added.
Trump gaining in swing states with the non-college educated
The former President’s gains with minority voters have mostly been with the non-college educated.
Education is becoming one of the biggest dividing lines in politics between the two parties.
Schoen stated that Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina are also moving in Trump’s direction.
“Basically, the blue wall in Wisconsin and Michigan is eroding as the South, defined as Georgia, North Carolina, Southwest Arizona, appear to be trending Trump,” Schoen explained. “We’re looking now at five states, five swing states, that are potentially Trump’s.”
The former Clinton pollster predicted that if Pennsylvania moved into Trump’s column, that would be the end of the race.
“If Pennsylvania goes, the election is over, all the trends are showing the same movement,” Schoen said. “It’s not over, you’re right, but it sure is moving Trump’s direction.”
President Joe Biden carried 90% of the black vote in the 2020 election, according to the Pew Research Center.
This year, Trump looks like he could turn in Republicans’ best performance with black voters in more than 50 years.
A poll conducted by The New York Times and Siena College Research Institute indicated that Kamala had the support of roughly 78% of black voters.
Trump cutting down on her margin with black voters could be enough to tip a close election in his favor.
Democrats are worried that black voters won’t turn out to vote in large numbers and that black men specifically could shift to Trump.
Former President Barack Obama recently scolded black men who are beginning to embrace Trump at a rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Kamala is struggling with other key Democrat constituencies.
She only has a 9-point lead with union voters after Biden won that demographic by double digits in 2020.
Union households moving toward Trump could prove decisive, especially in the Rust Belt.
The Democrat coalition that Kamala Harris was counting on is showing signs of weakness heading into Election Day.
