2024
Reading the 2024 result in Virginia
Virginia backed Harris (Democratic) in the 2024 presidential election, casting 13 electoral votes for the ticket. The presidency went elsewhere: Donald Trump (Republican) won nationally, while Virginia had backed a different ticket.
Virginia stayed in the Democratic column for the 5th straight cycle, extending a run that began in 2008. The region divided — Maryland and District of Columbia joined Virginia for the Democratic ticket, while North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia did not. Over its 58 recorded presidential cycles, Virginia has backed the Democratic party more than any other — 33 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.
