Seven crucial swing states


Seven crucial swing states that collectively hold 93 electoral votes


The 2024 US presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will likely be decided by seven crucial swing states that collectively hold 93 electoral votes


Here's what makes these states critical:


Key Battleground States


Pennsylvania (19 votes)


Largest swing state with 19 electoral votes


Both candidates held marathon rallies here on final campaign day

The Blue Wall States


Michigan (15 votes)


Wisconsin (10 votes)


Pennsylvania (19 votes)

These three states are particularly crucial for Harris's victory path, having historically been Democratic strongholds until Trump's 2016 win



Additional Swing States


Georgia (16 votes)


Arizona (11 votes)


North Carolina (16 votes)


Nevada (6 votes)


Path to Victory


To win the presidency, a candidate needs 270 out of 538 total electoral votes


The math breaks down as:


Harris starts with approximately 226 electoral votes from reliably Democratic states


Trump begins with about 219 votes from Republican strongholds



Harris needs 44 additional electoral votes from swing states


Trump requires 51 more electoral votes from these battlegrounds


These states are characterized by historically narrow voting margins and tend to shift between supporting Democrats and Republicans



making them the primary focus of both campaigns' efforts.
