What are the 2024 swing states and why are they important?
The TelegraphThe weighting of these votes means that winning a narrow swing state can have a disproportionate impact on the result – making them vital in securing the presidency. Mr Biden’s 2020 election victory in Arizona was surprising to some observers, as the state had only voted once for the Democrats since 1976. The state had voted for Mr Trump in the 2016 election, and consistently voted for the Republican candidate even in elections they did not win at a national level, including in 2008 and 2012. The Republicans must win back their former heartlands from Mr Biden, and attempt to win over traditionally Democratic states if their candidate has a chance of winning the 2024 election. “As a black woman, she’s probably not going to appeal to the white working class voters who saw Biden as, you know, culturally in step with themselves,” Mr Galdieri said.
