Swing states play key role in shaping 2024 US presidential election as polls show tight race

Swing states are vital in the 2024 presidential election due to their unpredictable voting patterns. These states often switch between Democratic and Republican candidates, influencing the overall election outcome. Recent polls show Trump leading Harris in several key swing states, including North Carolina and Georgia, with narrow margins. Harris is slightly ahead in Michigan, a significant state with 15 electoral votes. Currently, Trump has 219 electoral votes and Harris has 226, with 93 electoral votes still undecided in swing states. The close margins highlight the importance of these battlegrounds in determining the election winner.
