McCarthy previews path to victory Trump can take in Electoral College

Published September 18, 2024 2:36pm ET



Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy argued Wednesday that former President Donald Trump has “more opportunities” to win the Electoral College this election cycle, detailing which states he can focus on to do this.

McCarthy made his argument as the presidential election is less than two months away, with Vice President Kamala Harris 1 point behind where former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in some polling from mid-September 2016. The former speaker also noted that Harris is about 5 points behind where then-candidate Joe Biden was in polling from mid-September 2020.
