Trump and Harris tied in polls as election approaches, potential for Electoral College tie

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are tied in national polls ahead of the election, with a slim chance of an Electoral College tie. If this occurs, the House would choose the president and the Senate the vice president. A 269-269 tie is unlikely, with various scenarios possible. Harris could win states Biden secured in 2020, while Trump could take key swing states. A third-party candidate could complicate the election if neither reaches 270 electoral votes. The last Electoral College tie happened in 1800. Currently, there are 94 electoral votes available in seven swing states and Nebraska’s 2nd District, which could be crucial for either candidate's path to victory.
