MAPPED: The states Trump and top Democrats are targeting before Election Day

Trump and top Democrats target key states before Election Day

The full report

With just nine days until Election Day, both parties are making a final push to shape the fight for control of Congress, according to Fox News. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are rallying Republicans across the country, while former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris are campaigning for Democrats. The map, published by Fox News, traces their campaign stops so far this month, with states visited by both sides shaded gray.

Trump's stops span the country, from Texas and Oklahoma to Ohio, Georgia, Florida and Michigan. He said in early October he planned to hold five to seven rallies a week. This weekend, he campaigned in Florida on Friday, Georgia on Saturday and Michigan on Sunday. The map includes both reliably Republican states and states with competitive races, such as Ohio, Texas and Iowa, which have competitive Senate contests.

The stops by Obama and Harris show Democrats are also leaning on well-known figures in states with consequential races. Obama campaigned in Ohio and Michigan, while Harris's recent appearances included Nevada, Mississippi and New Hampshire. The map tracks campaign travel, not a formal ranking of battlegrounds, but offers a snapshot of where the parties are trying to rally voters in the final stretch before Nov. 3.

The map highlights the importance of these states in the final days leading up to the election, with both parties making a last-ditch effort to sway voters and secure control of Congress.
