The 2024 Vermont Republican presidential primary was held on March 5, 2024, as part of the Republican Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 17 delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention were allocated on a winner-take-most basis.[2] The contest was held on Super Tuesday alongside primaries in 14 other states. Nikki Haley won the primary against Donald Trump, making her the first woman to win a state in a Republican presidential primary, and first nonwhite woman to win a presidential primary of a major party.[3] Haley was awarded nine delegates and Trump was awarded eight delegates. Haley won Chittenden County, Grand Isle County, Lamoille County, Washington County, Addison County, Windsor County, and Windham County. Trump won Franklin County, Orleans County, Essex County, Caledonia County, Orange County, Rutland County, and Bennington County.[4]
This was the first Republican primary since 2000 in which Vermont did not vote for the winner of the nomination.
The Vermont primary was the only state primary, and one of only two primaries along with the District of Columbia primary, of the 2024 Republican presidential primaries that Donald Trump lost. The state has an open primary system, which allows any registered voter to vote in the Republican nominating contest.
