It’s hot in 2024 presidential election as vice president Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump remain neck and neck in the race for the Oval Office.

The race to get 270 electoral votes may not be determined until later this week, as some states are too close to call on Tuesday, November 5.

Although at least 30 states already have a projected winner between Harris and Trump as of Tuesday night at 7:45 p.m. PT, there is a shortlist of swing states that will ultimately be the turning point of the election.

Here are the Harris states will need win to become the first female president of the United States: Wisconsin, Michigan And Pennsylvania. The three aforementioned states are part of the so-called “blue wall,” which refers to the 18 U.S. states, plus the District of Columbia, that the Democratic Party has historically won in recent presidential elections. Trump won in 2016 after winning Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – three of the blue wall states – in his race against Hillary Clinton.

With Trump holding a 214-179 lead as of 8 p.m. PT, he also needs to secure Pennsylvania in order to secure his second term as president.

In addition to awaiting results from Pennsylvania, five other battleground states have yet to be called: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin.
