Kamala Harris has a number of paths to the 270 electoral votes she needs to secure the presidency, a change from the Biden campaign. But political operatives tell NPR that their internal polling shows a very tight race with Donald Trump. And despite new optimism from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Democrats' path to holding the Senate after Sen. Joe Manchin's retirement is precarious at best. This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro. The podcast is produced by Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
