Can Democrats dare to dream of a trifecta?
Democrats have a new lease on political life with Vice President Kamala Harris atop their ticket. And while the presidential race remains close, the signs are getting better and better for them.
New swing state polling this week showed Harris taking a slight lead over Donald Trump (within the margin of error) in most of the decisive states in the presidential race. And a new Monmouth University poll out Wednesday showed Democrats leapfrogging Republicans on both enthusiasm and optimism, metrics that help turn out voters.
But just how optimistic should Democrats be about the fuller 2024 electoral picture? And could they even dream of winning the “trifecta” — i.e. the presidency and the House and Senate?
What seemed largely out of reach less than a month ago deserves some consideration in the vastly changed political universe.
The bottom line? A Democratic triple play remains tough, particularly when it comes to holding their narrow Senate majority, mostly because the map is so challenging for the party. But Harris’s candidacy has to tempt Democrats to start thinking bigger.
There is little question that Harris performing better than President Joe Biden is a major relief to congressional Democrats who were worried they would go down with him. But there is a real question as to just how much Harris recasts the House and Senate maps.
