2024 presidential election live updates: Democrat warns Kamala Harris is ‘underwater’ in battleground state in leaked call

A Democrat running for Senate in Michigan has warned Kamala Harris that internal polling is “underwater” in one of the states crucial to her chance of victory.

Rep. Elissa Slotkin told donors last week that she wasn’t feeling “at her best” about the numbers in the Great Lake State, according to a video obtained by Axios.

“I don’t feel good right now about where we are on Kamala Harris, in a place like Michigan,” she said during a virtual fundraiser with Sen. Cory Booker.

Slotkin faces former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in one of the most watched Senate contests in the country.

The outcome will be a crucial factor in determining which party will have control of the Senate from January 2025.

For Harris, Michigan offers one of the easiest paths to victory, along with other Blue Wall states including Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

If Trump takes the Sun Belt states, Harris would have to pick up at least one of them to have a chance at taking the White House.
