Republicans have relied on the support of older Americans in national elections for years, routinely benefiting from a demographic that consistently shows up in force on Election Day. Four years ago, Trump won older voters in each of those states by 10 to 29 points.

Biden is also pitching directly to older voters, particularly in Arizona and Florida.
