As the presidential race begins to whittle down, each campaign is focusing on states that could make or break them. As a result, the candidates are spending exponentially more time and money in these battleground states. In turn, that has created a ferocious political atmosphere.
Unlike most other elections, the winner of the presidential election is not determined by who gets the most votes overall. Instead, the winner is decided by the Electoral College. Each state has a certain number of electoral votes, which are awarded partly based on population. In order to win the presidency, a candidate needs 270 electoral votes.
The two main political parties the Democrats and the Republicans are competing in a fierce battle for the White House. Each party has a set of core values and policies that they stand for. The Democrat party uses the color blue and is known for advocating for the middle class, social justice, and gun rights. The Republican party uses the color red and advocates for lower taxes, shrinking government size, and promoting individualism.
As a result of the intense competition between Harris and Trump, both have to focus on the battleground states that could make or break them. This has led to an environment in which both sides have stepped up the rhetoric and intensity of their campaigning.
Harris drew enthusiastic support from liberal voters who were impressed by her youthfulness and commitment to traditional liberal causes. However, many Democratic and independent voters remained concerned that she did not have detailed plans for the country’s future. They also believed that she had no realistic strategy for ending the Israel-Hamas war and addressing inflation.
