2024 United States presidential election in Maryland

The 2024 United States presidential election in Maryland is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Maryland voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Maryland has 10 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.^[1]

Mainly owing to the progressive and culturally Northeastern Baltimore and Washington metropolitan areas (where the vast majority of Marylanders live) and despite areas like Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore being rural, conservative, and still culturally Southern, Democrats have consistently won Maryland's electoral votes by double digits since 1992. Joe Biden from neighboring Delaware won Maryland by 33 points in 2020, with 52% of the White vote, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 to have a majority showing with said electoral demographic.^[2] Maryland is expected to be a safe blue state in 2024.^[3]

Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden was running for reelection to a second term, and became the party's presumptive nominee, but withdrew from the race on July 21.^[4]^[5] He then endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who launched her presidential campaign the same day.^[6] The Republican nominee is former president Donald Trump.^[7]
