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

With just eight days until Election Day, both parties are making a final push to shape the fight for control of Congress.

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 traces their campaign stops so far this month, with states visited by both sides shaded gray. 

Trump has been on the campaign trail nearly every day this month, with stops 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, and this past weekend he campaigned in Florida on Friday, Georgia on Saturday and Michigan on Sunday.

His schedule continues this week, with rallies planned in Mississippi and Texas.

HIGH PRICES PUT TRUMP’S ECONOMY IN THE SPOTLIGHT AS THE GOP FIGHTS TO HOLD CONGRESS

The map includes both reliably Republican states and states with competitive races. Oklahoma and Alabama, for example, are deep-red states where rallies can help energize the GOP base.

Ohio, Texas and Iowa have competitive Senate contests; recent Cook Political Report polling showed Democratic candidates narrowly ahead in all three. Michigan is also a key Senate battleground.

REPUBLICANS JUST GOT A POWERFUL NEW PLAYBOOK FOR THE BATTLE FOR CONGRESS. HERE’S WHAT’S INSIDE.

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. However, it offers a snapshot of where the parties are trying to rally voters in the final stretch before Nov. 3.
