battleground states

Battleground states, often referred to as swing states, are regions in the U.S. where both major political parties have similar levels of support from voters. As a result, these states can be won by either party in an election, making them critical for candidates aiming for victory. Typically, battleground states have diverse populations and varying political dynamics, which means campaigns often focus heavily on these areas. Since their outcomes can significantly influence the overall election result, they receive substantial attention from candidates and media during the campaign period.
