The Initial Battleground
The road to the White House in 2028 begins with seven battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Together, they hold 93 electoral votes—enough to decide which party reaches the 270 needed to win.
Our starting map assigns every other state and congressional district to the party that won it in 2024, giving Democrats 226 electoral votes and Republicans 219.
This is a starting point for exploring the race, not a prediction. The battleground could expand or shift as candidates emerge and the campaign develops.
Holding those starting assumptions constant, Democrats could reach exactly 270 by winning Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Republicans could reach exactly 270 by winning Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
