What Trump needs to do to win from here, and what Harris needs

Donald Trump’s path to victory has become a bit clearer, and it all comes down to three states. Here’s what he needs to do.

Countdown to Decision Day: America awaits 2024 election results

It’s looking increasing like this election is coming down to the three so-called Blue Wall states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

North Carolina and Georgia have been called for Trump.

With those two states that gets Trump to 251 electoral college votes, only 19 short of the magic 270 he needs for victory.

If he gets Arizona (11 votes) and the chances are he will - then all he needs to do to win the presidency is pick off any of Pennsylvania, (19 votes), Michigan (15 votes) or Wisconsin (10 votes).

Even if he loses Arizona, Pennsylvania alone will get him there but PA plus one of the other two will do it for him.

Harris’s problem is – as the Democrats feared, is that Donald Trump is doing much better with black voters than Joe Biden did.

A NBC exit poll has Trump picking up a 10 point swing among Latino men as well, which is why Republicans will be feeling hopeful about Nevada and Arizona.

Trump has done what he needed to do in what were until recently Red States of the Old Confederacy

It now all hangs on how Black and Latino voters go in the northern states.
