Democratic StatesIt is clear that the Democratic Party holds the majority of the states, however, there has been a loss of Democratic voting states to those of Republican voting states in the last two presidential elections. Based on the past two elections, Democratic states are more likely to vote Democrat again in the upcoming election. There still is a chance however that a state could potentially vote Republican in the upcoming election due to the failure of the last presidency, so for Cruz's campaign, it is crucial that all of the Democratic states have a visit in at least one location. The location that is the most heavily populated is the area in which these campaigns will take place in order to display an opposing political view in a state that is showing their devotion to the Democratic party over time.

Overall, the campaign will begin with steady and consistent campaigning within the states that are already voting Republican by campaigning in several locations in the most heavily populated areas. For Democratic states, fewer appearances will be made with less concentration on these states, due to the fact that the states appear to remain voters of said parties. In Democratic voting states with a high number of electoral votes, however, will have importance, such as California, because there is a chance of the state voting Republican in an upcoming election. Adding more electoral votes and more support from the states will ensure a victory for Cruz as the nominee for the Republican party. The heaviest campaigning will occur in swing states in several locations, specifically in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Campaigning will be heavy in areas of large population, however, appearances in areas of lesser population will occur as well in order to show promise to all areas of people and importance to all citizens in the U.S. to Ted Cruz. In the itinerary that is to be released, Ted Cruz plans on attending every state in the United States except for Hawaii and Alaska, and plans to visit areas of many different ethnic and racial backgrounds for diversity among voters and support all throughout. The idea of the entire campaign and all the appearances is that Ted Cruz will be able to show his dedication by aggressively campaigning and dedicating most of his time to appear in all the states which will cause many to vote for him due to his care for each, individual state in the U.S. For four months, Cruz will break his itinerary into 4 areas of tours, beginning in the Midwest. Each month, Cruz will attend a different state, centralizing focus on one geographical area at a time for more focus on one area than the United States as a whole. The itinerary and event dates for the different appearances will be released and linked to the website under the "States" tab on the website.
