- The 2024 presidential election takes place on November 5
- The “blue wall” swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are in play in 2024
- MI, PA, and WI went to the Democratic party in 2020
The race to become the next President of the United States is in full swing. This year, the Democrats pit current Vice President Kamala Harris against former President Donald Trump, representing the Republicans. Trump won the 2016 Presidential election with 304 votes from the Electoral College. Forty-six of those electoral college votes came from the so-called “blue wall” states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In 2020, Joe Biden earned 306 Electoral College votes to Trump’s 232 to put the White House back in the Democrats’ control. Biden took back those three states, but each state was very closely contested. Those three states remain in play for the 2024 presidential election.
The “blue wall” states are the 18 states, plus the District of Columbia, that had gone to the Democrats in every presidential election between 1992 and 2012.
