Trump secures arguably the most important state, Florida (29)
As America’s third largest state, ranking up 29 electoral votes, it remains one of the most influential swing states. Without Florida, George Bush would not have beaten Al Gore to the White House in the 2000 election. It consists of great diversity, serving as the nation’s oldest state, but also home to a growing population of foreigners. The population difference evenly splits the state politically, with the 2012 election showing 50% Democrat and 49.1% Republican.
