Five states could potentially become swing states in 2028, according to election exit poll data.
President-elect Donald Trump pulled off a decisive victory in this week's election, winning 295 Electoral College votes to Vice President Kamala Harris' 226. Exit polls also suggest Trump will win the popular vote, with 46 of the 48 states declared shifting toward him since 2020.
Those states included the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and North Carolina, which Trump won by between 1 and 3 points. Meanwhile, Trump also looks set to win Arizona and Nevada, both of which have not been called yet. In 2020, Joe Biden won all of those states except North Carolina.
Exit polls suggest that Republicans could take more states from Democrats in 2028, including Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico and Virginia. In each of those states, the Democrats' lead was narrowed to a margin of 3 to 6 points, down from leads of up to 16 points in the 2020 election.
The small leads for Democrats mean all five states could be in play for Republicans in the 2028 elections, in addition to the seven swing states from this election.
Newsweek has contacted the Trump and Harris campaigns for comment.
