2020 Presidential Campaign Visits
Where did candidates spend their time during the 2020 general election?
2020 General Election — Campaign Events by State
Week 10: Aug 28 – Nov 3, 2020
Key 2020 Battlegrounds: Pennsylvania led with 47 visits, followed by Michigan 21, Florida 31, and North Carolina 25. Notice how most visits were concentrated in the Upper Midwest and Sun Belt swing states.
🐾
Roger's Tip: Most presidential campaign visits go to swing states — states that could go either Republican or Democratic. States that reliably vote one way get very few visits. Can you spot the pattern?

What patterns do you notice? The "Blue Wall" states (PA, MI, WI) got the most attention. The Sun Belt (GA, AZ, NV) grew in importance. States that are "safe" for one party received almost no visits. How might this change in 2028?
