The blue wall looks strong. Even before the rousing Democratic National Convention in Chicago, August polling showed that Kamala Harris had pulled ahead of Donald Trump in three key Midwestern swing states — Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. This is down to her ability to channel a mood of optimism rather than fear, Trump’s own mis-steps and the fact that 30 per cent of the private sector investments into strategic sectors supported by the Biden administration has gone to places like the industrial Midwest.
“藍墻”看起來很堅固。即使在芝加哥舉行的民主黨全國大會(Democratic National Convention)之前，8月份的民意調查就顯示，在密歇根州、威斯康星州和賓夕法尼亞州這三個關鍵的中西部搖擺州中，卡瑪拉?哈里斯(Kamala Harris)已經超過了唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)。這歸功于她能夠傳遞樂觀而不是恐懼的情緒，特朗普自己出現失誤，以及拜登(Biden)政府對戰略性行業支持的私營部門投資中有30%流向了像中西部工業區這樣的地方。
