CNN’s John King Breaks Down Candidates’ ‘Easiest’ Paths To Victory On Election Day

CNN chief national correspondent John King pointed out Monday the “easiest” paths to victory for both Vice President Kamala Harris’ and Republican nominee Donald Trump on Election Day.

Public polling data still has not indicated a clear leader one day before the Nov. 5 election, despite former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden holding a lead at this time during their election cycles, King said. Harris and Trump’s easiest paths to victory is to win Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, one of the Sunbelt states or the second district in Nebraska.

“The vice president, it’s a modest lead, but she’s had a consistent lead . Modest lead, but a consistent lead here,” King said. “That would get her there, and this is why Pennsylvania is so important. This is why both candidates are spending so much time and have spent so much time … If she holds , it doesn’t mean she will, but she’s had a modest consistent lead in both , if she holds these, that’s enough. As long as she picks up Nebraska’s second congressional district where all the polling shows she’s running strong. That’s her easiest path, no path is easy. But that’s the easiest path.”

Harris, who spent more than $294.7 million in Pennsylvania, is crisscrossing across the state where she will campaign in Allentown, Scranton, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia where she plans to hold a concert. Trump is holding rallies in Reading and Pittsburgh.

“If she doesn’t win , let’s say Donald Trump wins that, how does Harris get there? Well you have to win at least two more, and even wouldn’t be enough. Let’s say she did well out here, those two wouldn’t be enough because they’re not big enough in terms of how many electoral votes they have,” King continued. “That’s why Pennsylvania is so prominent here.”
