Vice President Kamala Harris is showing significant gains in national polls as the 2024 presidential race heats up, with some surveys indicating she is pulling ahead of former President Donald Trump.
However, key swing states remain highly competitive, with Harris holding only a narrow lead in critical battlegrounds like Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
