Model results

Final

The model shows Harris trailing considerably, with only 3.8% of simulated outcomes showing her gaining more than 50% of the two-candidate vote. This suggests a quite weak position for Harris, but it's important to note that this is a statistical projection based the data from August through October 31. This is a summary of the model, not a prediction of the election outcome.
