See Donald Trump and Kamala Harris' paths to 270 electoral votes — and build your own
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are hunting for electoral votes with two months to go in the presidential race. Here are their most likely paths to victory.
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are hunting for votes with two months to go in the presidential race. Specifically, they're hunting for electoral votes — and the different paths to victory through the core battleground states.
You can map them all out yourself with NBC News' "Road to 270" tool, an interactive electoral map that shows off the different routes to an all-important total of, you guessed it, 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.
Build and share your own map, or look through the different scenarios NBC News experts Steve Kornacki and Kristen Welker have drawn up, from the most likely paths to victory to some more unusual or chaotic combinations.
Remember: In the seven core battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, President Joe Biden's biggest win in 2020 was by less than 2.8 percentage points in Michigan. Trump's biggest (and only) win was by less than 1.4 points in North Carolina. Not much separated these states last time, and that could make for some unusual trends and combinations this time.
