In every US presidential election, the final result depends on critical swing states. These states, also known as «battleground states», - change from election to election. Most of them are usually located in the southeast of the country, while others are in the Midwest. Which states are swing states in these elections?
As Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump battle for the Oval Office, we have detailed everything you need to know about swing states below.
A swing state is any US state that can vote for either a Democratic or Republican candidate in presidential elections. Polls must be close enough for the state to be considered divided.
Swing states differ from others that are considered «red» or «blue» states, where the candidate from the main party usually has an advantage.
Swing states change from election to election due to changes in demographics, politics, economics, and differences between candidates. Florida was once a swing state due to close polls. However, by 2024, the state leaned towards the Republican Party.
In the 2024 elections, swing states are Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, according to various sources. Although Georgia and North Carolina were previously considered «red states», - polls have shifted in recent years.
According to several polling agencies, the elected president of the 2024 elections will win by a small margin. According to the latest forecast from FiveThirtyEight, Harris is expected to win «50 times out of 100» in their simulations, while Trump will win «49 times out of 100». The site used 1000 simulations to determine the predicted winner, with 503 wins for Harris, 495 for Trump, and two simulations without a winner
