If Harris takes it, that’s it, she doesn’t need anything else. Failing that, NC or GA + any 1 other state. AZ + NV alone is not enough, that drops her right at 268. For Trump, he has to win PA to stay in, that gives him 238, from there he needs 32 more. So NC + GA. Or NV + AZ and either NC or GA. Minimum 1 state for Harris to win, PA. Also a 2 state win of NC or GA + 1 other. Max would be 3 states. AZ, NV + 1 other. Minimum 3 states for Trump to win (PA, GA, NC), could be as many as 4 of the 5 outstanding (PA, AZ, NV, + GA or NC)

minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·3 months agoHarris has 3 paths to victory, a 1, 2, or 3 state solution. Trump has 2 paths, a 3 or 4 state solution. Only 5 states are up for grabs. If Harris loses PA, she has 2 more options. If Trump wins PA, he still needs 2 to 3 other states.

Kamala needs 1 state
Trump needs multiple states
