Reading the 2024 result in Montana
Montana backed Trump (Republican) in the 2024 presidential election, casting 4 electoral votes for the ticket. That placed Montana with the eventual winner: Donald Trump went on to take the presidency, and Montana was part of his column.
Montana stayed in the Republican column for the 15th straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1968. Montana did not move alone — neighboring Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, and North Dakota broke the same way in 2024. Over its 34 recorded presidential cycles, Montana has backed the Republican party more than any other — 22 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.
