Battleground swing state results:

Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania, which has 19 votes in the Electoral College, might also best encapsulate the full dynamics at play in the election. The two major cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are reliably Democratic, but Trump has found favor in the communities in between.

Here are the results from Pennsylvania:

North Carolina

Ever since Barack Obama narrowly won his first election, Democrats have dreamed of adding North Carolina to the blue bloc of states on the US East Coast. But so far, 2008 has been an isolated case.

Here are the results from North Carolina:

Georgia

Georgia has voted for the Republican candidate in eight of the last 10 elections, but changing demographics in Atlanta and its suburbs made the Peach State competitive in 2020 for the first time in more than a generation.

Here are the results from Georgia:

Michigan

In 7 of the last 10 elections, Michigan has voted for the Democratic candidate. In 2020, Joe Biden won the state by a +2.8 margin, although Mr. Trump narrowly prevailed in 2016 by a margin of less than 11,000 votes.

Here are the results from Michigan:

Wisconsin

Once part of the Democrats' blue wall, the state went to Mr. Trump by just over 20,000 votes in 2016 and fell to Mr. Biden by a similar margin four years later. The state has Democratic centers in Milwaukee and Madison, with Republican bastions in between.

Here are the results from Wisconsin:

Arizona

This border state went to President Joe Biden by just 10,457 votes in 2020. That narrow margin, combined with his previous history as a Republican bastion, make him one of Mr. Trump's most promising choices.

Here are the results for Arizona:

Nevada

This western state has switched back and forth between parties several times since the 1990s, usually with differences of a few percentage points. But it has not yet proven decisive in an election.
