Vice President Kamala Harris
Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential candidacy has boosted Democratic chances in four Sun Belt swing states.
  • Harris is competitive across key Sun Belt battlegrounds, per the latest NYT/Siena College polls.
  • Harris leads Trump in Arizona and North Carolina. She trails by a narrow margin in Nevada.
  • Georgia, which was fading as a battleground in June, is now poised to be competitive again.

In early July, former President Donald Trump was well positioned to sweep the Sun Belt swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina.

It was a stark reversal from 2020 when President Joe Biden won three of the four states and only lost North Carolina by a one-point margin.
