2024 United States presidential election in Virginia
Updated: Wikipedia source
The 2024 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Virginia voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Virginia has 13 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat. Before the election, most news organizations considered Virginia a likely win for Harris. On election day, Harris won Virginia with 51.83% of the vote, carrying the state by a margin of 5.78%, similar to the 2016 results, albeit slightly wider. This was the first presidential election in which both major party candidates received more than 2 million votes in Virginia. Harris became the first Democratic nominee to win Virginia while losing the nationwide popular vote since 1924, a century earlier. Virginia is the only former Confederate state Trump never won in any of his three runs.
