The 2024 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Minnesota voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Minnesota 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]

An upper Midwestern state at the western end of the Great Lakes, Minnesota is seen as a moderately blue state. It has the longest active streak of voting for Democratic presidential nominees of any U.S. state; the last Republican to win Minnesota was Richard Nixon in his 1972 49-state landslide, and it was also the only state to not back Ronald Reagan in his 1984 landside reelection. However, presidential elections in Minnesota have consistently been competitive in the 21st century, with no Democrat carrying the state by double digits with the exception of Barack Obama in 2008, who barely did so by 10.2 percentage points (297,945 votes). Minnesota was considered to be a Democratic-leaning state in this election.

Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden was running for reelection to a second term, and became the Democratic presumptive nominee, but withdrew from the race on July 21.^[2][3] He then endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who launched her presidential campaign the same day.^[4] The Republican nominee was former president Donald Trump.^[5] Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has qualified for the ballot.^[6] Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.^[7] This decision was seen as a strategic effort to bolster support in the Midwest as well as among progressives. Walz's local popularity, progressive stances, and his record of addressing state-level issues were expected to positively influence voter turnout in Minnesota, and potentially secure the state for the Democratic ticket. Following Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale, Walz would've become the third vice president from Minnesota had he been elected.^[8]

Harris won Minnesota by about 4%, lower than Biden's 7% margin but better than Hillary Clinton's 1.5% margin. Trump flipped three counties (Winona, Blue Earth, and Nicollet) that Biden had won in 2020 and became the first Republican presidential nominee to win Carlton County since Herbert Hoover in 1928. This was the first election since 1988 in which Clay County did not back the winning candidate, when it voted for Michael Dukakis over George H.W. Bush. ^[9]
