In both states, Ms. Harris performed slightly stronger than Mr. Biden with Black voters, younger voters, and women all groups that Democrats need in order to be successful this fall. As recently as April, Ms. Harris was polling substantially behind Mr. Biden's standing, but she has gained ground in recent surveys.
In recent swing state polls, taken before Mr. Biden announced he would withdraw from the presidential race and completed before the assassination attempt on Mr. Trump, Ms. Harris was only down by 1 percentage point in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania in a hypothetical matchup with Mr. Trump. And she was winning by a more comfortable 5 percentage points in Virginia, a state where Mr. Biden was up by only a razor-thin margin.
