WIMPA

Shorthand for the three key Rust Belt/Upper Midwest states of Wisconsin (WI), Michigan (M), and Pennsylvania (PA) that have decided a multitude of Presidential Elections from 2008 to 2020.

Most notably, the three states are much more white demographically than the country as a whole.

Trump's win in 2016 was powered by his surprising strength in WIMPA, even though he polled poorly in these states.
