The 2024 United States presidential election in Vermont 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 will participate. Vermont voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Vermont has 3 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]
Vermont was won by the Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, by a landslide margin of 31.8%. As a sparsely populated rural state in northern New England, Vermont was historically a moderate/liberal "Yankee Republican" stronghold, having backed the GOP in all but one presidential election between the party's formation and George H.W. Bush's narrow victory in 1988, excluding Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964landslide. However, an influx of more liberal voters has turned Vermont into a Democratic stronghold at the presidential level since the early 1990s, as the state has been won by the Democratic candidate in every presidential race starting in 1992, all of these victories being by double digits apart from Al Gore's 9.93% win in 2000.
In 2020, Vermont was Joe Biden's strongest state in the nation, with a margin of 35.4%.[2] While Harris's performance slightly decreased from Biden's, Vermont was once again the most Democratic state (excluding the District of Columbia), only the second occasion in the state's history it was the strongest for the Democrats, and the first time since 1956 in which it was the strongest state for either party in back to back elections.[3] Despite Harris's landslide win, Trump flipped Orleans County, being the first Republican nominee to carry a county in Vermont outside of Essex County since George W. Bush in 2000.
