Secondary Presidential Battlegrounds

While most of the focus has been on the seven incredibly competitive battleground states, these other locations - nine states and two congressional districts - are worth keeping an eye on. These are all rated as 'Likely' for Trump or Harris in the final Consensus Electoral Map. However, for the most part, polling margins are in the mid-to-high single digits.

These are ordered by final poll closing time and state.

All times Eastern (ET). Where states span multiple time zones, no winner will be projected before all polls have closed. Vote counts and race projections provided by Decision Desk HQ.
