There are obviously many ways we may interpret this, but on its face, it does n’t look good for the Harris-Walz plan. Kamala’s strategy appears to be pulling money out of North Carolina, according to Trump campaign director Chris LaCivita, and LaCivita says that the plan may be shifting assets to Virginia, where some new polls indicate a close contest.

I do n’t know how accurate this is, and given that the Harris campaign has significantly out-fundraised the Trump campaign, in theory, it has money to burn. Why would n’t North Carolina keep playing offense? There is no evidence to support it, which may explain why the Harris strategy has been spending money much more quickly than the Trump campaign.

However, according to the voting statistics, North Carolina is also ripe for the Democrats to turn this time.  ,

Of course, this certainly does n’t mean that Kamala has given up on North Carolina, she is expected to visit the state on Wednesday. But, rescheduling a protest would be a much worse sign than reducing advertisements, and the Harris-Walz campaign might not want to play on its own accord.

If this is all true, it is an incredibly ominous sign for the Harris-Walz plan. It has no reason to believe that North Carolina is firmly in its row, and shifting resources to Virginia rather than one of the orange wall says suggests that the plan is now playing protection, which is a very ominous signal.  ,
Kamala must get all three of the blue ceiling states in order for Trump to win the election, winning in Arizona and North Carolina. Can she do it? Maybe. That’s going to be a very high order, given how much Trump is stronger in all three state right now than he was in the previous two votes.
