2024
Reading the 2024 result in Minnesota
Minnesota backed Harris (Democratic) in the 2024 presidential election, casting 10 electoral votes for the ticket. The presidency went elsewhere: Donald Trump (Republican) won nationally, while Minnesota had backed a different ticket.
Minnesota stayed in the Democratic column for the 18th straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1956. It stood apart from its neighbors: North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin went the other way that year. Over its 43 recorded presidential cycles, Minnesota has backed the Democratic party more than any other — 23 times in all. The vote fell within the Modern Polarization — Close elections in a divided country.
Nationally, Donald Trump finished with 312 of the 538 electoral votes to Kamala Harris's 226. Donald Trump led the national popular vote with 49.8% of the ballots cast.
