"Why Trump Has a More Plausible Path to the Presidency, in 19 Maps"
The best evidence that American politics is deeply, stubbornly and immovably stuck is that the presidential race is back where it started (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/04/16/opinion/electoral-map-outlook.html) in the Electoral College race for 270 votes, despite the work, time and money by Democrats and Republicans to expand their chances in more states.
Donald Trump had hoped to exploit President Biden’s weaknesses and pick off Democratic-leaning Virginia and Minnesota. But against Kamala hαɾɾιs, he is back to banking on a Sun Belt swing state strategy while hoping to win at least one industrial state. Ms. hαɾɾιs had hoped that her summer momentum might put Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and possibly even North Carolina in better contention than they looked for Mr. Biden. But now, she is back to banking on a blue wall swing state strategy of winning Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
What has remained a constant all along is this: Pennsylvania and Georgia are the two most pivotal states in the campaign. If Mr. Trump is able to carry Pennsylvania or Ms. hαɾɾιs prevails in Georgia, either would have a decisive advantage in winning the election ...
Let’s start with the basics. For the third presidential election cycle in a row, the winner will come down to the seven battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin."
