Another traditionally blue state may be slipping from the grasp of Kamala Harris. According to local media reports, the vice president will taking a trip to New Hampshire this week.
WMUR writes that the Granite State may be moving towards swing-state territory.
News 9 has learned that Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to New Hampshire on Wednesday for a campaign event. Details have not yet been made public.
This will mark the first visit by Harris to New Hampshire since the spring of 2021, an event in Concord that included strict pandemic protocols involved in many gatherings at that time.
The Harris campaign is still touting a major upswing in engagement since her ascension to the top of the ticket last month, reporting a 415% increase in attendees at its events and a 480% increase in “volunteer shifts completed.”
New Hampshire could play a decisive role in 2024. While only four Electoral Vote, taking those away from Harris would make it nearly impossible for her to win.

No polls have shown Trump leading in New Hampshire, but PJ Media recently noted that the Harris campaign could be “genuinely worried about the Granite State because of their own internal polling. Just last week, Chauncey McLean, the president of the pro-Harris Super PAC Future Forward, warned Democrats that public polling may be a bit too optimistic about Kamala’s position.
‘Our numbers are much less rosy than what you’re seeing in the public,’ he admitted, suggesting that there are underlying concerns that many in the party might be downplaying. This sentiment is echoed by other Democratic pollsters, who recognize that Donald Trump still holds significant advantages that could potentially shift the race in his favor.”
