The US presidential election will take place on November 5, 2024 and will mainly be between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, despite the presence of a few other small candidates in the race for the White House. The election promises to be particularly close this year, according to the various national polls or those carried out in each state. In the United States, it is the results of the state-by-state vote that are decisive for the outcome of the election.
Each of the country’s 50 states represents a certain number of electors; the more populated the state, the greater the number of electors. It is ultimately these electors who vote for the future president of the United States. But the major voters are not distributed to the Republican and Democratic camps in proportion to the results of the vote, they all go to one and the same party: the one which obtained the highest score. To hope to win the presidential election, candidates must win the vote in as many states as possible to obtain as many electors as possible. You must win 270 electoral votes to be assured of victory.
The outcome of the election is already known in most American states which have very ingrained electoral habits: the territories on the east and west coasts are usually very progressive like California or New York and vote for the Democratic camp. , those in the Midwest are rather conservative and mostly support the Republican Party. But there are a handful of states, called swing states, which can swing from one camp to another from one election to another. These are the states that decide the outcome of the election: Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
