The general election is just over one month away and the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump is tightening in battleground states. Dr. Kent Redfield, Professor Emeritus of Political Science from the University of Illinois, explains that the "Upper Midwest Blue Wall" in, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin and the "Southern Strategy" in North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, will be the deciding states in November.

Dr. Redfield cites current average national polls leaning slightly towards VP Kamala Harris as of Sunday.

As for the battleground states, Dr. Redfield says it's too close to call.

In the Illinois congressional races, Dr. Redfield argues that extreme gerrymandering in the state leads to the under-representation of many voters and a lack of competition.

The presidential election is set for Tuesday, November 5th.
