There are 50 US states, but just a handful can decide the election.

We've included the number of electoral votes each state is assigned, as well as how they voted in 2016 and CNN's current ratings of each state race. The threshold to win the presidency is 270 electoral votes.Michigan. 16 electoral votes. Trump won in 2016, now leans Biden.Neither Hillary Clinton nor anyone else expected Trump's stunning victory in Michigan in 2016.
