Democrats, working to expand the 2020 presidential map for Democratic candidates, on Tuesday rolled out a new list of targeted states, and there are some big ones on there. In addition to traditional battleground states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, and North Carolina, the Democratic National Committee had already announced that Arizona was on its list. Now it’s adding Georgia and Texas.
The DNC’s new wave of “Battleground Build Up 2020” states are Georgia, Texas, Ohio, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Virginia. That’s a diverse list of states trending in some very different directions—and a way to increase the possible paths to the 270 electoral votes needed to defeat Donald Trump in November.
