The 2024 United States presidential election in California was held 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.[1] California voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. California has 54 electoral votes in the Electoral College, the most in the country.[2]
The most populous state in the union and one of the most Democratic, California is a deeply blue state that voted Democratic in every presidential election starting in 1992. It did so by double digits in each of them excluding 2004, when John Kerry won it by 9.95 points. It was widely expected that California would continue its streak, with Vice President Kamala Harris – a native Californian who served as the state's attorney general from 2011 to 2017 and later represented it in the U.S. Senate from 2017 to 2021 before assuming the vice presidency – being the Democratic nominee for president. Harris was the first Californian to appear on a major party presidential ticket since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
With 98% of the vote in, Harris is winning California by just over 20 points with nearly 9.2 million votes. Despite it being her home state, her performance is noticeably poorer than Joe Biden's 29 point win in 2020, following a trend of blue states such as New York and Illinois shifting red as a result of poor voter turnout for democrats compared to previous elections.[3] If it holds, Harris's performance in California will be the worst for a Democratic candidate since 2004; she would also be the first Democratic candidate since 2004 to not receive at least 60% of the vote.
Trump flipped eight counties that were won by Biden in 2020: Butte, Fresno, Inyo, Merced, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus. Of these eight, all except Butte and Inyo were also won by Hillary Clinton in 2016. Trump’s win in Riverside, San Bernardino, Fresno, San Joaquin, Merced and Stanislaus marked the first time they voted for a Republican since George W. Bush in 2004.
