WASHINGTON: Every four years, the U.S. presidential election zeroes in on “swing states.” These battlefields, unlike most states that constantly favor one party, can flip between polls and often determine who wins the White House.
With just a few states classically in play, campaigns pour resources into these crucial pitches. Their electoral votes often decide the outcome, making them the focus of intense campaigning. Understanding swing states is vital to grasping how America picks its president, determining strategies and potentially altering the political landscape of the US.
