In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are locked in a tight race across seven key battleground states. With an eligible voter base of approximately 244 million, the outcome hinges on the razor-thin margins expected in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These swing states collectively hold enough electoral votes to tip the scales in a fiercely polarized political climate.
The election operates on the Electoral College system, requiring 270 of 538 electoral votes to secure victory. Thus, candidates have prioritized these battlegrounds, making repeated campaign stops and intensifying outreach to mobilize voters. The competitive nature of this election has fueled record-breaking early voter turnout, while a series of down-ballot races, including 34 Senate seats and all 435 House seats, add further stakes to Election Day outcomes
