The presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris looks like a seesaw. Just as one candidate approaches a tipping point in the polls, the balance shifts and the other overtakes them.
As Harris and Trump teeter between front-runner and underdog on a regular basis, one thing remains clear: The race is extraordinarily tight. That wasn’t always the case, though. When President Joe Biden was still in the race, Trump seemed to be cruising to victory. Then the sitting president decided to drop out. Harris took Biden’s place in mid-July, and closed the polling gap with Trump before finally overtaking him in August.
