Alabama participated, alongside the 49 other US states and Washington, D.C., in the 2024 United States presidential election on November 5, 2024. Alabama chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Alabama has nine electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat.
Alabama voted for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump (representing neighboring Florida), by a comfortable margin in the election, with him winning the state by 30.47%. This was the largest Republican win in the state since 1972, against the backdrop of Richard Nixon's 49-state landslide re-election. Prior to the election, all major news organizations marked Alabama a safe red state.
Turnout noticeably fell, with Harris receiving over 70,000 fewer votes than Biden, while Trump increased his raw vote total by over 20,000. Harris had the lowest vote share of any Democratic nominee in Alabama since 1972, slightly less than Hillary Clinton’s 34.36% in 2016.
