Reading the 2024 result in Tennessee
Tennessee backed Trump (Republican) in the 2024 presidential election, casting 11 electoral votes for the ticket. Tennessee ended up on the winning side — Donald Trump captured the White House that year.
It marked the 7th consecutive election in which Tennessee backed the Republican party, a streak reaching back to 2000. The region divided — Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri joined Tennessee for the Republican ticket, while Virginia did not. Across the 57 presidential elections Tennessee has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Democratic party (24 times). The vote fell within the Modern Polarization — Close elections in a divided country.
In the national count, Donald Trump took 312 of the 538 electoral votes, against Kamala Harris's 226. Donald Trump led the national popular vote with 49.8% of the ballots cast.
