New Delhi: To become the President of America, it is necessary to win 270 seats. To get so many seats, victory in seven swing states is necessary. This time Trump's Republican Party won all the seven swing states i.e. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina. His victory in these states proved to be important in ensuring his return to the White House.

Let us tell you that these swing states are such states which are not traditionally in favor of 'blue' Democrats or 'red' Republicans, hence they are known as 'purple' states. Being one-fifth of the population of America, these states ultimately decide the next US President. There are a total of 93 seats in these swing states. These include 19 seats of Pennsylvania, six of Nevada, 16 each of North Carolina and Georgia, 11 of Arizona, 15 of Michigan and 10 of Wisconsin.

This is how swing states voted?

Pennsylvania: Trump snatched this crucial state back from the Democrats this year, winning 50.9% of the vote and all 19 electoral college votes. Kamala Harris won 48.2% of the vote. In 2012, Democratic President Barack Obama won this state. Pennsylvania has a mix of urban, suburban and rural voters with varied political views. Victory in Pennsylvania proved to be crucial for Joe Biden to win the US presidency in 2020.

North Carolina:  This south-eastern state also witnessed a tough fight between President Trump and Kamala Harris. The Republican won 16 electoral college votes and secured 51.1% votes here. Harris lagged behind with 47.7% votes. There is a large number of young professionals here.

Georgia: Trump defeated the Democrats in this traditional Republican stronghold by winning 50.8% of the vote. Harris got 48.5% of the vote here. This state is known for its developed and diverse demographics.

Nevada: Trump won this western US state with 51.5% of the vote compared to Kamala Harris' 46.8%. Nevada voters supported Democrats Obama and Clinton before current US President Joe Biden. The state has a large Hispanic population, a growing Asian American community, a strong labor union presence and often leans Democrat.

Arizona: Trump won nearly 51% of the vote in the Mexican border state grappling with an immigration crisis. Harris got 48.3% of the vote here.

Wisconsin: Trump got 51% of the votes here while Harris lagged behind with 47.6% of the votes. Trump won here in 2016 and Biden in 2020.

Michigan: Trump won 51.1% of the vote in this traditional Democratic stronghold. Harris got 47.2%.

Trump gains lead in rural areas

Donald Trump got more votes in rural areas than in the last election. Analysts believe that the minority community in suburban and urban areas did not work as hard in support of Kamala Harris as it did in support of Joe Biden in 2020. This is the reason why Harris had to face defeat in swing states like Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Harris could not repeat Biden's performance

In 2020, Joe Biden won by 16 points in New Jersey. But Harris was reduced to just five points. Biden won by 10 points in Virginia. But here too Harris was ahead by five points. Trump has got more than 71 million votes. In 2020, Biden got more than 80 million votes. Then Donald Trump had accused of fraud in voting.

Trump also got the support of these voters

Harris got less than 80 percent of the votes in suburban and urban areas like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. This figure is even less than the votes received by Joe Biden. The special thing is that this area is a stronghold of the Democratic Party. It is being said that a large number of black and Hispanic male voters supported Trump due to economic, cultural and gender reasons.
