US Election 2024: Trump projected to take nine states but all eyes on Georgia as first polls close
Briefly

The seven states that could swing either way are vital for both parties: Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin represent the Rust Belt, while Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina are part of the Sun Belt.
Historically, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin formed a 'blue wall' for Democrats, but in 2016, Trump's victories in all three contributed significantly to his electoral win against Hillary Clinton.
Joe Biden's successful reclaiming of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in 2020 demonstrated the volatility of these battlegrounds, alongside unexpected wins in historically Republican states like Georgia and Arizona.
The competitive nature of these seven states underscores their importance in presidential elections, as shifts in voter preference can dramatically alter the overall electoral landscape.
