Director Michael Moore argues Harris campaign’s momentum is ‘unlike anything that’s been seen in decades’ The projection has Harris picking up most of the traditional battleground states in this election, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire. “It is never wise to do a victory dance on the two-yard line when Trump is your opponent.” According to The Independent’s poll tracker, Harris has a projected lead of roughly three percent over Trump, though many election forecasters refrain from making direct Electoral College predictions given the variety of toss-up states in play.
