Due to the sudden onset of the pandemic, President Donald Trump and state governors are facing a dilemma regarding when to reopen their states' economies. Using JMP's analytical capabilities, we analyzed several COVID-19-related databases, including the number of infected people, deaths, and unemployment, to determine the risk of reopening businesses in 15 battleground states identified from past elections. As a result, we were able to obtain a "battleground state" indicator that shows which states are best suited to reopening and would benefit President Trump's election.
