In May, Daniel and Jordan Allott embarked on a four-year reporting project called The Race To 2020.

The project monitors the pulse of the Trump presidency with deep, personal, long-form reporting in nine key counties around the nation. These counties helped deliver the presidency to the maverick Republican candidate on Nov. 8, 2016, and they will determine whether Donald J. Trump succeeds or fails in the White House.
