    With less than two weeks until Election Day on Nov. 5, new polls show the presidential race remains close in many states that likely matter most.

    The major party candidates, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, are making their final arguments to voters in a series of events across the country. They focus on key swing states that switched parties from 2016 to 2020, including Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. The candidates’ campaigns are also eyeing Nevada and North Carolina, which are considered battlegrounds this year.

    Because the U.S. presidential race is determined by the Electoral College rather than the popular vote, razor-thin votes in these states could decide the outcome of this year’s election. As November 5 approaches, here’s a look at the recent presidential elections in five key states:
