DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Presidential Election: Winning the Map? Or Changing It
	?\n\nModern American presidential elections can be broken into two types: 
	those that tweak the edges of the electoral college map\, turning over eno
	ugh states to secure a victory – George W. Bush in 2000\, Donald Trump in 
	2016\, Joe Biden in 2020 – and those that fundamentally alter that map – I
	ke in 1952\, Ronald Reagan in 1980\, Obama in 2008.\n\nAs the 2024 electio
	n nears\, Kamala Harris and Trump turn to the map again. Trump knows that 
	he cannot win the kind of popular majority that propelled Eisenhower and R
	eagan to enveloping victories\; indeed\, Trump almost certainly will lose 
	the popular vote. Instead\, he envisions a small-map win secured by the sh
	ift of a few states from his loss to Biden in 2020. That’s why seven battl
	eground states hold so much influence and attention.\n\nFor Harris\, howev
	er\, the potential is different: She could win by holding all or most of t
	he Biden map. But she also could win a broader\, more fundamental victory\
	, one that could see seismic shifts in the American electorate.\n\nWhich w
	ill it be?\n\nJim Newton\, a political reporter and editor for more than 3
	0 years\, will look at the strategic implications of the coming face-off b
	etween Vice President Harris and former President Trump as the two enter t
	he final month of a strange and profoundly significant American election. 
	He is also a lecturer in Communication Studies at UCLA and the founder and
	 editor of UCLA Blueprint magazine.\n\nPlease RSVP by Wednesday\, Oct. 9.\
