BREAKING: Donald Trump gets nightmare news as the renowned Cook Political Report shifts Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada towards Kamala Harris as she gains steam.

And it gets even better…

All three of the crucial states had been considered “lean Republican” at the beginning of July when Joe Biden was still the presumptive nominee.

Now, these states are considered a “toss up” as more and more polls show Harris gaining ground.

“For the first time in a long time, Democrats are united and energized, while Republicans are on their heels. Unforced errors from both Trump and his vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance have shifted the media spotlight from Biden’s age to Trump’s liabilities,” said Cook Editor-in-Chief Amy Walter.

“In other words, the presidential contest has moved from one that was Trump’s to lose to a much more competitive contest,” she added.

“Bottom line: Things look a lot better for Democrats today than they did a few weeks ago, but Trump is looking stronger now than he did in 2020. This is a Toss Up,” she said.
