Harris team growing more nervous, but believe blue wall is possible

Sources close to the Harris campaign told ABC News that her team is getting more nervous, but still they believe they can clinch the blue wall and the Nebraska blue dot.

In the meantime, the mood at Howard University has dampened over the last couple of hours. The night started out with music pumping and crowds dancing. Now, there's a giant screen playing CNN and the crowds are muted, with many glued to the screen.

The crowd cheers anytime races are called for Harris and boos whenever states are called for Trump.

Several Howard University attendees told ABC News the results are making them nervous, but they're still cautiously optimistic.

But one Democratic operative just told ABC News, "I am horrified it is close and going to bed."

A Democratic operative in Wisconsin told ABC News the situation is anxiety-inducing but would still "rather be us than Trump." This person says it could be a "late night again. Right now we have Trump holding a red mirage lead before the absentee ballots."

The source's view is that they won't see absentee ballots until later tonight, and they're already beating Biden's numbers in Waukesha County, arguing that the state-wide strategy is paying off: "holding the line in rural areas and accelerating in urban areas. It's the kind of margin you generate through massive door-knocking campaign."

This operative said, "Blue wall has been core strategy all along and it still is."

Harris campaign to staffers: 'Get some sleep'

Harris campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon sent an email to staffers with the subject line: "What We're Seeing So Far."

"As we have known all along, this is a razor thin race," she stressed.

O'Malley Dillon talked about the "blue wall states," and how they will likely not have the results until much later into the night.

"What we do know is this race is not going to come into focus until the early morning hours," she said.

"We'll continue to keep you all updated as we get more information. This is what we've been built for, so let's finish up what we have in front of us tonight, get some sleep and get ready to close out strong tomorrow," she added.
