In every U.S. presidential election<\/a>, the final result<\/a>\u00a0comes down to the swing states. The states, which are also labeled the \u201cbattleground states,\u201d differ between elections. Most of them tend to be in the southeast of the country, while others are located in the Midwest. So, which ones are the swing states for this year\u2019s election<\/a>?<\/p>\n As Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris<\/strong> <\/a>and Republican candidate Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> vie for the Oval Office, we\u2019ve detailed everything you need to know about swing states, below.<\/p>\n A swing state is any U.S. state that could carry the vote by either the Democratic or the Republican presidential candidate. Polls must be close enough for the state to be considered split.<\/p>\n Swing states are different from others that are considered as \u201cred\u201d or \u201cblue\u201d states, where the major party candidate tends to have the lead.<\/p>\n Forget what the #polls<\/a> say, and go VOTE!!!\ud83d\udc99\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8#HarrisWalz2024<\/a> #NotGoingBack<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/HpYCBMfkfK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dena Grayson, MD, PhD (@DrDenaGrayson) November 3, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Swing states differ between elections due to changes in demography, politics, economics and differences between candidates. Florida used to be a battleground state because polls would be close. However, as of 2024, the state has leaned toward the Republican Party.<\/p>\n For the 2024 election, the swing states are Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, according to multiple outlets. Though Georgia and North Carolina were considered \u201cred states\u201d in the past, polls have shifted in recent years.<\/p>\n The president-elect of the 2024 election will win by a slim margin, multiple pollsters agree.\u00a0According to FiveThirtyEight\u2019<\/a>s most recent projection, Harris is expected to win<\/a> \u201c50 times out of 100\u201d in its simulations, and Trump is projected to win \u201c49 times out of 100.\u201d The website used 1,000 simulations to determine the projected winner, with 503 ending with Harris, 495 in Trump\u2019s favor and two simulations ending up with no winner.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\nWhat Is a Swing State?<\/h2>\n
