Revisit the 2020 election results map ahead of the 2024 presidential election
CBSN
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are heading into Election Day with razor-thin margins separating them in the handful of states that will ultimately decide the winner.
The 2024 election map bears some similarities to the landscape that Trump encountered in 2020, when he was defending the White House from a challenge by Joe Biden.
Trump is hoping to win back states that he captured in 2016, when he punctured the Democratic "blue wall" en route to the presidency. Harris is hoping to retain the states that Mr. Biden won, which would give her a comfortable victory in the Electoral College.
Five presidents in U.S. history have won the presidency without winning the popular vote, and the most recent to do so was Donald Trump in 2016. His opponent that year, Hillary Clinton, won over 2.8 million more votes than Trump nationwide, but she lost enough key states to be defeated in the Electoral College, 306 to 232.
We've all seen a lot of political ads lately. But in battleground states, it's a tsunami. Jack Levis is an independent voter in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which makes him one of the most desirable voters on the planet: "Emails, texts, phone calls, it's in my news feed, it's in social media. In the last two days, I counted, I had 30 spam emails in there all about the election," he said. "It's unbelievable."
