Kamala Harris has been warned her polling is 'underwater' in the battleground state of Michigan.
One of the vice president's clearest paths to victory over Donald Trump comes through winning the Great Lake State alongside Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
But Democratic Rep., Elissa Slotkin, who is running in the state's Senate race, warned donors last week there were signs of alarm bells.
'I'm not feeling my best right now about where we are on Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan,' she said according to Axios.
There are just 36 days until the election and the race is still on a knife-edge.
The devastation left by Hurricane Helene has now become a focus of the campaigns.
Trump will visit the damage in Valdosta, Georgia, on Monday afternoon while Harris cut a to Las Vegas short so she could attend briefings in Washington D.C.

Democrat warns Kamala Harris her polling is ‘underwater’ in Michigan
A Democrat running for Senate in Michigan has warned Kamala Harris her internal polling is ‘underwater’ in one of the states critical to her chance of victory.
Rep. Elissa Slotkin told donors last week she wasn’t feeling her ‘best’ about the numbers in the Great Lake State, according to video obtained by Axios.
‘I'm not feeling my best right now about where we are on Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan,’ she said during a virtual fundraiser with Senator Cory Booker.
Slotkin is running against former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in one of the most closet watched Senate contests in the country.
The outcome will be a crucial factor in determining which party has control of the upper chamber from January 2025.
For Harris, Michigan provides one of the simplest paths to victory along with other Blue Wall states including Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
If Trump sweeps the Sun Belt states, Harris would need to pick up at least one to have a chance of taking the White House.
