Counting on the Keystone State

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are working on truncated timelines and with a miniscule map. The abbreviated contest that only came together under 45 days ago is a historical outlier. Most campaigns develop over months, sometimes years, as the Democratic and Republican principals do a slow dance around each other before clashing in a series of showdowns on debate stages. 

That obviously hasn’t been the case in 2024. Trump and Harris are set to get together in the same room at least once next week during a debate on Sept. 10.
