Democrats are riding the joyful wave of a successful, enthusiastic DNC. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are leading in most polls. Donald Trump is becoming more unhinged and mashing buttons on his phone during live TV interviews.

Even though Harris-Walz will win the popular vote, this election will come down to a handful of states, most notably Pennsylvania or Georgia.
