In every presidential election, battleground states are major players. States like Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, and Wisconsin continuously wield the power to determine the outcome of the general races.

Generally, presidential contenders on both sides of the aisle work to be as competitive as possible in battleground states. This often looks like rallying in these communities and putting extra resources into ad campaigns to reach voters. Presidential nominees may also select running mates who hail from a battleground state and can pull in extra votes.
