CNN’s Harry Enten Calls Presidential Race ‘Closest’ He’s ‘Ever Seen,’ Warns ‘Margin Of Error’ Could Flip Outcome

CNN’s Harry Enten said Monday that the 2024 presidential race is the “closest” he’s “ever seen,” warning that the “margin of error” could flip the election in either candidate’s direction.

The race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris has been tight, as the two have had a tug-of-war over who will win key swing state polls. While on “Anderson Cooper 360,” Enten said how the polls have flipped back and forth on who is predicted to win in November, highlighting on if the race were called on the current polling leaders then Harris would win the Electoral College.

“I think Republicans thought it was early last week when those polls up in the Great Lakes were looking good for Kamala Harris. I think there are a lot of Democrats who might argue it looks early. Now, look, we still have well over a month to go,” Enten said. “Yes, things could definitely change at this particular point going forward, but the bottom line is this has been one of the steadiest races on record, right? If you were to ask me a month ago, who was ahead in the national polls, I would have said Kamala Harris was slightly ahead. I would‘ve said she was slightly ahead in those Great Lake battleground polls.”

“But the bottom line is this race, Anderson, is the closest that I’ve ever seen. And you can see it so well on the electoral map, right? Let’s just say that we believe the polling for a second and say we‘re going to assign each of the states to the person who is the polling leader, even if the lead is very, very small. What do we get? We get Kamala Harris with 276 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 262,” Enten continued. “That would be the closest race since 2000, right? In terms of the Electoral College. And of course that map is because Kamala Harris holds in those Great Lake battleground states, while Donald Trump does well along the Sunbelt.”
