2028 Electoral Map

The Initial 2028 Battleground

For now, the road to the White House in 2028 runs through seven battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

These are the same states that have been at the center of the last several presidential elections, but the 2026 midterms could redraw the political landscape.

Once those results are in, we’ll reassess which states truly belong on the battleground.

For now, these seven states hold 93 electoral votes — more than enough to determine which party reaches the 270 needed to win.

Under these starting assumptions, Democrats could get to exactly 270 by winning Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Republicans could reach exactly 270 by carrying Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

But this is a tool for exploring the race, not a prediction. The map will evolve as the political environment changes, candidates emerge and the 2028 campaign takes shape.

And when the battleground changes, we’ll update the map — and explain why.
