Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are neck and neck in the race for the White House, with recent polls showing a virtual tie in key swing states. The US Electoral College system means the candidates are focusing their efforts on just a handful of crucial battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
With 270 Electoral College votes needed to secure a victory, the outcome of the election will likely be decided in these key states. If the other 43 states follow predicted outcomes, the race will come down to the seven toss-up states that hold a total of 93 votes. Harris would need 44 of these votes to win, while Trump would need 51.
In the 2020 election, Joe Biden was able to flip several states that Hillary Clinton lost to Trump in 2016, ultimately securing a victory by winning key battleground states. Both Harris and Trump are intensifying their campaign efforts in hopes of winning over voters in these critical states.
As the election approaches on 5 November, the battle between Harris and Trump continues to be closely watched by voters and political analysts alike. Stay tuned for updates as the candidates make their final push to secure the necessary electoral votes for victory.
