That's pretty convincing. Unless there's some sort of October surprise to deflect the momentum.
The problem with 'October Surprises' now, is that they have become expected, so any surprise is going to have to come from an unexpected direction.
I have heard that one possible 'surprise' would be Biden resigning as President so Harris would be POTUS when the election takes place. Trouble there is the timing:
Too soon, and Harris will be expected to start issuing Executive Orders that she promised she would do, even though most of those contradict positions she held for a long time before July; and
Too late, and it will look like a desperation stunt and make Harris look desperate.
That is, like so many things there are ways to make a move work and ways a move can backfire.
Harris' biggest problem is winning over Pennsylvania. She will win Philadelphia, but there is some doubt she can win Pittsburgh, and the fracking/coal regions of PA rejected Harris long ago. I expect Harris to make some kind of deal to get Fetterman to campaign for her, because without him she is toast in PA.
