Vice President Kamala Harris, during an address Wednesday to Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s leadership conference in Washington, warned of “mass deportations” and “massive detention camps” if Donald Trump returns to office. Trump held a rally Wednesday night in Uniondale, N.Y., on Long Island, where he criticized Harris for not doing more as vice president to secure the border. New York is not a swing state — Harris is heavily favored to carry it in November — but several House districts are in play and could determine which party takes control of the House.
The post-debate polls are starting to affect our polling average. Nationally, the debate hasn’t moved the needle yet in The Washington Post’s polling averages — Vice President Kamala Harris still leads our national average by two percentage points over former president Donald Trump. But the new polls have increased her lead in Pennsylvania and given her a slight edge in Nevada for the first time.
