The 2024 United States presidential election in Massachusetts was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections. Massachusetts voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. Eleven members of the Electoral College came from Massachusetts.
A New England state, Massachusetts has been a Democratic leaning state since 1928, and a Democratic stronghold since 1960, and is considered a deeply blue state today. Democrats have consistently defeated Republicans by large margins in Massachusetts since 1996. In 2020, Joe Biden won the state by more than 33%, the largest margin since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
Kamala Harris won Massachusetts along with every county in the state. She defeated Donald Trump by 25 points. This was an eight-point shift toward the Republican Party from 2020, and Harris’s margin was smaller than that for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Despite Harris winning over 60% of the vote in the state and every county there, Massachusetts had one of the largest swings of any state, swinging by more than the national swing of about 6%.
This was part of a trend of blue states, such as New York, New Jersey, California (Harris's home state), and Illinois, which all swung significantly towards Republicans.
