Election Day is here and the race to 270 is on. Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have several paths to an Electoral College win, depending on which swing states they claim.

A swing state, sometimes called a “purple” state, is one that could end up giving its electoral votes to either the Republican or Democratic candidate. While some states like California for Democrats or South Carolina for Republicans are considered reliable wins, others are toss-ups. Americans and pollsters alike can’t pin down their electoral outcome until precincts close and votes trickle in.

Here are the swing states to keep an eye on in the 2024 presidential election, as well as how you can follow results.
