On Thursday morning "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough delivered the news to Donald Trump that his hopes of winning one of the key midwestern swing states he needs to return to the Oval Office after the November election are slipping away.
During a discussion with co-host Mika Brzezinski and "Way Too Early" host Jonathan Lemire, Scarborough noted, "You look at the polls that are out there right now, a lot of the ones that have come out the last couple of days, national polls have [Vice President Kamala] Harris up three, four, five, six points."
"These polls show certainly in the most important swing states a significant move towards her," he added before elaborating, "Wisconsin really tight, and of course, Wisconsin is whiter, Wisconsin is older — that's a state really that Joe Biden was overperforming in because he did better with older, white voters than he did with other groups that he usually under-performed on."

"So I think that's what we're seeing in Wisconsin, but right now, Michigan, Pennsylvania, if you are looking at these numbers if you are also looking at what I still think may be in a tight race, and all these swing states, the most important story, and that is that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris together have been burying millions and millions of dollars and building up a ground game over the past year; in part, because Biden is an old-time pol that says ground game, ground game, ground game," he added.
"In close races, even the Trump people will tell you a good ground game is worth half a point in any state, especially when the other side is outsourcing their ground game because they never had the discipline to build it," he stated, before summing up, So this is, again, is not great news for Harris, but certainly not good news for Donald Trump."
