Mark Halperin Says “Four Blue States” Could “Mean Everything” to Trump’s Victory

(DCNF)—Newsmax political analyst Mark Halperin said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump could gain important advantages from Virginia, Minnesota, New Hampshire and New Mexico as his campaign enters the final stretch.

Trump took the lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in New Hampshire in a Sunday poll, the race in Minnesota is tight and the former president is planning rallies in New Mexico and Virginia. Halperin, on “Newsline,” said that securing electoral votes in any of these states could propel Trump to victory, even if he falls short in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

“There are four blue states, separate from the purple states, the battleground states: Virginia, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico. They serve three potential purposes. I emphasize potential ’cause Donald Trump will probably lose them all. And if he loses them and a battleground state, he may regret putting his time in there,” Halperin said. “One is, by going there, he creates a sense of momentum, he creates a sense that he’s on offense and Harris is not.”

“Two, if he does win all the battleground states or six of the seven and even one of these blue states, it’ll add to a sense of mandate if he’s victorious. And finally, I could imagine a scenario where he might not win any of the blue wall states, the Great Lake states, but he wins any one of the four states that they’re talking about and basically wins the election through one visit and maybe a little last minute cash,” he continued. “So keep your eye on those four states. They probably mean nothing, but it’s possible they’ll mean everything.”

Trump currently holds slim leads over Harris in all of the top seven swing states except Michigan, where he slightly trails the vice president, according to the RealClearPolling averages. CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten on Tuesday suggested that Trump is unlikely to exceed his projected poll numbers again, as he did in 2016 and 2020.

“I think a lot of folks are sort of counting in that Donald Trump will in fact be underestimated by the polls. But when I’m looking at the evidence, I think you got to hold on a second,” Enten said. “Maybe that’ll happen. Maybe it’ll happen. But I think that there are folks who are underestimating the idea that maybe Kamala Harris will be underestimated by the polls at least a week out.”
