Democrats eye Trump's home turf as they look to expand electoral map

Democrats are growing more optimistic about turning Florida blue, according to The Hill. That doesn’t mean just a massive 30 electoral votes. It also means potentially locking away the Senate and flipping the House.

A Morning Consult poll released on Monday shows Vice President Kamala Harris only 2 percentage points behind Donald Trump in the Sunshine State—and that’s before her memorable shellacking of him in Tuesday night’s debate. If more polls that close start coming out, we could see the 4-point lead Trump has in 538’s state polling average disappear. 

Better yet for Democrats, a poll released last week by The Hill and Emerson College showed Democratic Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell trailing Harry Potter villain Sen. Rick Scott by just a single point.

And Democrats have some reasons to think polls could be underestimating their performance in Florida this year.
