Ms. Paul, a Democratic organizer, has been attempting to persuade people in this area to vote for Kamala Harris by knocking on the doors of hundreds of strangers, calling, and distributing brochures.
After witnessing the vice president go “off like a rocket” in Michigan, Ms. Paul was optimistic when Harris emerged as the Democratic candidate in July, replacing President Joe Biden.
Along with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the state is one of the three “blue wall” states that voted Democrat in 2020, and a win there would help Harris win the presidency.
However, Harris’ honeymoon phase in Michigan may be coming to an end with less than a month till election day, making her route to victory less likely.
Donald Trump is ahead by three points in the swing state, according to a Quinnipiac survey released last week.
Ms. Paul, a resident of West Bloomfield, Michigan, and co-founder of the liberal advocacy group Fems for Dems, stated that it would be extremely hard for anyone to maintain that pace during the entire race, despite the fact that it is severely shortened. However, I had hoped that we would feel a little more at ease.
Even though the Harris campaign seems to be learning from 2016, Ms. Paul is one of numerous Democratic organizers and lawmakers in Michigan who claim that the presidential race is more competitive than anticipated. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee at the time, lost the state, according to critics, because she took it for granted.
