The 2024 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Oregon voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Oregon has eight electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state gained a seat.
Democrats have won Oregon in every presidential election starting in 1988, and have consistently done so by double digits starting in 2008. A blue state, although not as strongly as neighboring California and Washington, Oregon is part of the Democratic-leaning West Coast, and was predicted to go comfortably for Democrat Kamala Harris (from neighboring California) in 2024.
Harris carried Oregon by a 14.3% margin, which was slightly closer than Oregon in 2020. Oregon shifted to the right by a much smaller margin than the majority of states in this election, as Joe Biden had won Oregon by 16.1% in 2020. This can also be said about neighboring Washington, which also largely resisted the national red wave. Oregon was one of the few states to have many counties shift leftward. Democrats also gained a U.S. House seat in Oregon in the concurrent U.S. House elections in Oregon.
Oregon and Washington shifted rightwards by less than 2%, much less than the national shift of about 6 percentage points, including the trend of Harris significantly underperforming Biden in many blue states, including her home state of California. Trump's vote share in Oregon in this election marked the highest for a Republican candidate in a presidential election since Mitt Romney in 2012.
