If Harris is going to win - one of the following has to be true:

The polls are off a couple points in Trump’s direction
The electorate needs to shift leftward
In the final days of the race
OR Trump’s advantage in the electoral college declined

The third one is an interesting possibility. It could be that a narrow lead nationally could still turn into an electoral win. But it would mean that we win California and New York more narrowly than normal
