Vice President Kamala Harris admitted that she isn’t good at making decisions on the spot while fielding questions from the public at a CNN town hall this week. Polls show that voters are going to former President Donald Trump.
“What weaknesses do you bring to the table and how do you plan to overcome them?” asked Joe Donahue, a store worker.
Harris replied that she “may not be quick to have the answer” about “a specific policy issue sometimes” because she likes to “research it” first.
“I’m going to want to study it. I’m kind of a nerd sometimes, I confess. “Some might call that a weakness, especially if you’re in an interview or just kind of being asked a certain question, and you’re expected to have the right answer right away. But that’s how I work,” Harris said.
During her long answer to the question, Harris also said that she sometimes relies too much on her team to make decisions.
“I’m certainly not perfect. I think that I perhaps, a weakness some would say, that I actually think is a strength is that I really do value having a team of very smart team around me who bring to my decision-making process, different perspectives. My team will tell you I am constantly saying, let’s kick the tires on that,” Harris continued.

It comes as a series of new polls suggest the race for the White House is turning in favor of Trump and against Harris with less than a week to go until Election Day.
Nate Silver’s most recent prediction is that Trump could win all of the important split states in the 2024 election.
Silver’s research shows that Trump has a 24.4% chance of winning all seven swing states in November. This is the most likely outcome. The forecast also says that Harris has a 15.6% chance of winning all the battleground states.
It also shows that Harris would win the race if she won all the swing states except Arizona and Georgia, where Trump is currently ahead.
His model, on the other hand, says that this is only 1.7% likely to happen. On the other hand, it’s 3.4% likely that Harris will win Georgia but not Arizona, and 2.9% likely that the Democrats will win Arizona but not Georgia.
The model shows that there is a 4.6% chance that the Republicans will win every swing state except Nevada, where Harris is currently ahead by a very small amount.
In this case, Trump would win the election because the vice president would get 232 electoral college votes.
Silver’s overall prediction shows that Harris is most likely to win when Democrats win between three and five of the key states.
That’s how many electoral college votes the vice president would need to win if she only won Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. That’s an 86.2 percent chance of winning overall.
Polls show that Trump is ahead in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina, while Harris is ahead in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada. A tracker from FiveThirtyEight says the former president is ahead by 0.2 points in Pennsylvania, but a tracker from Silver says the state is tied.

The prediction from Silver says that Harris has a 0.6% chance of winning the race if she only wins Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada. If she gets Pennsylvania, her chances go up to 98.9 percent. Silver’s model, on the other hand, says that this unlikely event is only 2.9% likely to happen.
Expectations for the Electoral College have changed to show that Trump is more likely to win than Harris. As an example, Silver currently thinks that Trump has a 53.1% chance of getting the Electoral College vote, while Harris only thinks that Trump has a 46.6% chance.
FiveThirtyEight’s prediction has also changed in Trump’s favor. It now says that Trump has a 51% chance of winning the election, while Harris only has a 49% chance. At the same time, RealClearPolitics predicts that Trump will win all four swing states, giving him 312 Electoral College votes to Harris’s 227.
