How Many Electoral College Votes Do the Seven Battleground States Have?

Just 93 out of 538 electoral votes are likely to decide the presidential election.
The seven swing states have a combined total of 93 Electoral College votes, or 17.3% of the total, with both candidates devoting huge amounts of time and money trying to win them.
The seven: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are likely to tip one of the two candidates past the 260 electoral votes they need to win.
Newsweek sought comment on Monday from the Donald Trump and Kamala Harris campaigns.
Pennsylvania
All eyes will be on the Keystone State, which is far too close to call.
It has 19 electoral votes, making it the most fruitful win among the swing states.
Both candidates have spent large amounts of time in Pennsylvania, with Trump narrowly avoiding an assassination attempt in Butler County in July.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on November 1 that Harris and Trump have collectively made more than 50 trips to Pennsylvania during this election cycle.
Arizona
The Grand Canyon state, which has 11 electoral votes, is another key battleground. Immigration along the southern border is a major issue in Arizona, and Trump has repeatedly attacked the Biden administration’s record on illegal border crossings.
Biden won Arizona for the Democrats for the first time since the 1990s and Republicans view it as a key state to win in the 2024 election.
Georgia
Georgia, with 16 electoral votes, is almost as valuable as Pennsylvania.
After Biden won the state in 2020, Atlanta’s Democratic district attorney, Fani Willis, indicted Trump and 18 others for allegedly trying to overturn the result.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and claims he is a victim of a Democratic Party conspiracy to damage his campaign.
About one-third of voters are African American, which helps the Harris campaign. Trump is much stronger than Harris in rural areas.
Michigan
Michigan, with 15 electoral votes, has been a strong bellwether for the rest of the country. It voted for Trump in 2016 and switched back to Biden in 2020. Its manufacturing base attracted many Arab Americans, who have been a key factor this election cycle. More than 100,000 voters declared themselves as “uncommitted” in the Democratic primaries, largely as a protest at Biden’s perceived support for Israel in the ongoing war with Hamas.
Nevada
Nevada, with six electoral votes, has not been as coveted a prize as Pennsylvania or Georgia for either candidate. Harris is hoping that the Latino and younger voters will help her retain the state for the Democrats, while Trump has been campaigning on the economy and promises of lower taxes.
North Carolina
North Carolina, with 16 electoral votes, would be a crucial win for either candidate. Trump told a crowd in Asheboro in August that he has to win the state.
“We’ve got to win this state. This state is a very, very big state to win. We’ve won it twice, and we’re going to win it again.”
It was his first outdoor appearance after an assassination attempt in July, signifying the importance he attaches to the state.
Trump won North Carolina in 2020, but Harris is polling well. A win here will be a major victory for either candidate.
Wisconsin
Wisconsin, with 10 electoral votes, is another bellwether state.
If voted for Trump in 2016 and for Biden in 2020. With a Biden win last time by just over 20,000 votes, it is a state that could go either way.
The Republican National Convention was held here during the summer in the hopes of bolstering Trump’s chances, while Harris was busy campaigning in Wisconsin when she was officially named as the Democratic candidate during the Democratic National Convention.
