'Holy Toledo': Fox News host shocked to hear 'Blue Wall' back to being a 'toss-up’
August 12, 2024
Polling shows Kamala Harris is inching closer to edging out Donald Trump’s lead in battleground states, and flipping just one could lead her to the White House, Real Clear Politics co-founder Tom Bevan told Fox News on Monday.
In a segment with Neil Cavuto, Bevan said that the latest polling shows the changeover from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris has improved the Democrats' standings in seven key swing states –Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona – and narrowed Trump’s lead there from 3.5 percent to just 1 percent.
“The blue wall is now back to being basically a toss up and that really is her best path to the nomination,” Bevan said.

With Harris' selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, the margin in the race has become "razor-thin," PBS reports. Bevan said a shift of just one battleground state away from Trump is all Harris would need to secure the presidency.
“Right now – if the election were held today and the polls were spot on accurate – Donald Trump would win the electoral college 287-251,” Bevan continued. “But, if Harris tipped Pennsylvania alone, she’d win 270-268. That’s how close it is.”
“Holy Toledo,” Cavuto responded.
