‘Just A Dead Heat’: Harry Enten Tells CNN Host 2024 Is ‘Tightest Election’ He’s ‘Ever Seen’

CNN Senior Data Reporter Harry Enten said Wednesday night that he had “no idea” what would happen in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump has an edge just five days out from Election Day as Republicans have seen a surge in early voting, holding leads in five of seven swing states in the RealClear Polling averages, with the vice president’s only leads being in Wisconsin and Michigan, and neither lead higher than 0.5%. Enten told “The Source” host Kaitlan Collins the race was a “dead heat.”

“I think what stood out to me is that the races haven’t moved at all, not one iota. You go back to August, the numbers in all three states look exactly the same as they do now,” Enten told Collins, a former Daily Caller reporter. “And you have to ask yourself, when these campaigns are spending all this gosh darn money on the air, especially in Pennsylvania, and it’s just a dead heat.”

Trump and Harris have poured over $500 million into advertising in Pennsylvania, which has 19 electoral votes, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

“So now as we stand less than a week from the election, I continuously say Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, and I also continuously say, I have no idea what the heck is going to happen,” Enten said. “And people call me a waffler for that, but I’m just being honest with folks. I have no idea. This is the tightest election I’ve ever seen.”

Harris trails Trump by 0.4% in the RealClear Polling average of polls from Oct. 11 to 29, with Trump’s lead dropping to 0.1% when Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, independent candidate Cornel West and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver are included in surveys.

Trump leads Harris in a head-to-head matchup by 0.8% in polls of Pennsylvania voters from Oct. 7 to Oct. 29, according to the RealClear Polling average, and leads or is tied in five of the last six polls in the crucial swing state when independent candidate Cornel West, Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein and Libertarian Chase Oliver are included as options in the surveys.

Trump has been capitalizing on President Joe Biden labeling the former president’s supporters as “garbage” during a virtual campaign event Tuesday. Trump took questions from reporters in a garbage truck, while Harris was forced into damage control mode as she attempted to distance herself from the president’s comments.
