Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign continues to believe it has “multiple pathways” to 270 electoral votes and has not closed out any potential paths at this stage, campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said Monday.
The path through the so-called “Blue Wall” states – Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania – remains the “most straightforward path,” but the campaign sees “equally favorable” paths in Sun Belt states, she said.
The Harris campaign also offered its views on the timing of election results, suggesting that the team will remain “calm and confident” as votes come in – during what could potentially be a lengthy process.
The Harris campaign expects “most of the results from Georgia and North Carolina” will come in relatively early, said O’Malley Dillon, noting that if those states are close “it might not be called until later.” The campaign also expects “near complete results” relatively early from Virginia, Florida, Ohio, and Colorado. At this point in the evening, the campaign is cautioning that “everyone should be very careful not to over-index on these results in any one state.”
The Harris campaign expects “near-complete results” from Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan, and “partial results” from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona.
The Harris campaign expects “most results” from Wisconsin by Wednesday morning, as well as “additional results from Pennsylvania and potentially Michigan,” O’Malley Dillon said.
The Harris campaign said additional results will be coming in “from Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada,” as well as a “small number of remaining ballots tabulated” in other battleground states.
“Keep in mind that some ballots will continue to be counted for many days,” O’Malley Dillon cautioned.
