If you dive into the numbers from previous US elections, the odds of a Kamala Harris victory become clear

Kamala Harris has two possible paths to win the US presidential election against Donald Trump .

Of the 46 occupants of the Oval Office , only one of them has been Black: Barack Obama , elected in 2008 and 2012 .

There has never been a female president (and only one vice-president) until Harris assumed top spot on the Democrat presidential ticket this year thanks to Joe Biden's implosion.

If the numbers show that a sea of dominant white voters is inclined to vote for a white male Republican candidate, how does any Democrat — let alone a Black female one — ever make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ? Or, if she can't do that, she has to peel away some of Trump 's white base.

The last four US presidential elections — the Biden and Obama victories as well as the Clinton loss — illustrate clearly how this plays out.

Until recently, the Republican party dominated Arizona , the home state of Senator John McCain .

Arizona has voted Republican in every presidential election except two .

Only 29 per cent of the state's registered voters are Democrats .

Arizona is America 's fast-growing state with almost a third of the population Hispanic .
