Next US president: Key states that will decide Harris-Trump showdown
After Bidenʼs summer exit Vice President Harris faces-off against Trump in a tight race. Seven key states could determine who gets the nations top job as election day approaches
After Joe Bidenʼs unexpected july withdrawal‚ Kamala Harris steps-up to challenge Donald Trump in a nail-biting presidential race. With less than three weeks til election-day‚ both teams zero-in on crucial battle-ground states
Seven states hold the key to victory: Arizona Georgia Michigan Nevada North-Carolina Wisconsin and Pennsylvania (places where polls show neck-and-neck numbers between parties). The winner-takes-all system means even tiny margins in these states can tip the scales
Arizonaʼs political landscape shows interesting shifts — its first dem vote since the mid-70s happened in 2020; while Georgia broke its two-decade red streak that same year. Both states now seem shaky for the dems though
We havent seen a runaway re-election landslide like Reagan Nixon or Johnson had at all since 2000
The republicans need to win-back their old strongholds and maybe grab some blue territory too. Pennsylvania and Michigan (both mostly blue since early-90s) are top targets; these industrial powerhouses have lots of blue-collar voters that both sides want
Harris might build different voter support than Biden did: while she wont face age-related concerns experts think sheʼll need a new strategy to win midwest swing-states. Her campaign focuses on building fresh coalitions rather than copying Bidens 2020 playbook
