Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is one of the only battleground states that has critical 2024 races for the Presidency, Senate, House, and State House. While Democrats are more likely to win here than in some of the other battlegrounds, there is virtually no path to the Presidency without winning Pennsylvania. Similarly, we can’t hold the Senate without winning in Pennsylvania. Currently with a 1-seat Democratic majority, the State House has flipped back and forth between Democratic and Republican control during recent special elections.
