Kamala Harris has a number of paths to the 270 electoral votes she needs to secure the presidency, a change from the Biden campaign. But political operatives tell NPR that their internal polling shows a very tight race with Donald Trump.

This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.
