What are the main swing states to focus on?
The United States is made up of 50 states, but some are more important than others when it comes to presidential elections.
Many “safe states” typically vote reliably one way or the other, while “battleground states” have a chance of either a Democratic or Republican candidate winning. This potential vote is attractive to candidates because these votes could push the election either way.
Over the years, the list of battleground states has changed based on population, demographic trends, and broader cultural issues. Still, the economy and inflation are at the top of the list of important issues for American voters.
The key battleground states to watch in this election are Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.
Each swing state has its own set of critical issues. DW takes a closer look at each state.
