Well from 538 right now I believe Trump needs Arizona, Iowa, Ohio, NC, Florida, and Pennsylvania (or Nevada AND Colorado).
They are all currently leaning Blue and in cases like Ohio and Iowa the state GOP leadership is actively working against Trump.
While PA isn't any closer than Virginia it is worth more electoral votes so that's where you want to concentrate. Strategy wise it is likely what he has to do to start turning the ones he really needs Red.
The problem is, I think the campaign is going to also have to spend a lot of time defending some that are barely red at this point. Georgia for one. Maybe Missouri. Heck even Texas is moving towards being more of a toss up than anyone thought. No polls conducted after the tapes and debate yet on that though.
Well I guess that's not really a problem for the people in this world that don't support Trump.
