Electoral map

[change | change source]
This map shows how partisan states are by the Cook Partisan Voting Index. Swing states are the states in lighter colors.

In the Electoral College, this results in major-party candidates primarily focusing their campaigns on swing states, which can swing between parties from election to election. These states are critical for a presidential candidate's path to victory. For 2028, the expected swing states are Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The others include Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, which all were won by Trump in 2024.[5][6][7]
