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. The state of Massachusetts has 11 electoral votes in the Electoral College.
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.[a] 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.
Harris won Massachusetts along with every county in the state. She won by a 25 point margin. This was an 8-point shift toward the Republican Party from 2020, and Harris’s margin was smaller than the 2016 margin.
This was part of a trend of blue states, such as New York, California, and Illinois, which all swung significantly towards Republicans.[2]

Analysis
[edit]Harris's 25.20% margin was similar to those of other 21st century Democratic nominees, but below Hillary Clinton's 27.20% margin in 2016 and Joe Biden's 33.46% margin in 2020, and she did win every county in the state.
But despite remaining strongly Democratic, Massachusetts shifted significantly rightward in this election, with all of its counties shifting rightward. It had one of the largest swings of any state, swinging by 8%, which was more than the national swing of 6%. This was despite the state being one of the most liberal, and Harris winning every county in the state.[40] This also suggests that Harris's loss was not simply due to her policy positions or messaging being perceived as too left-wing.[41]
This was part of all 50 states and D.C. shifting rightward, including many of the bluest states shifting significantly rightward. Even D.C. shifted moderately rightward by 3%, despite giving Harris over 90% of the vote. (Harris also lived in D.C. at the time, as the incumbent Vice President.) Massachusetts shifted by about as much as the red states of Texas (by 8%) and Florida (by 10%), and the blue states of California (by 9%), New Jersey (by 10%), and New York (by 11%). By contrast, some blue states only narrowly shifted rightward, including Washington (state) (by 1%), Oregon (by 2%), Maine (by 2%), and Colorado (by 2.5%).[42]
This was the first time that a Democrat won less than 50% of the vote in Bristol County since 1992, the closest a Republican had come to winning a county in Massachusetts since 1988, and the first time a Republican candidate won Fall River since 1924. Trump was initially ahead in Bristol County on election before it narrowly flipped blue as more votes were counted.[43] In addition, it was the first time a Republican candidate won Somerset since 1956, and the first time a Republican candidate won Westport and Seekonk (all in Bristol County) since 1984. Of the 351 municipalities in Massachusetts, Trump flipped 26, while Harris flipped none.[44] 339 municipalities shifted towards Trump, while only 12 shifted towards Harris. Harris's largest gain was in Gosnold, where she improved the margin of victory by 12.2%, while Trump's largest gain was in Lawrence, where he cut his margin of defeat by 31%.[43] Despite losing the city to Harris by a wide margin, Trump managed to win two precincts in Boston, the first time in his three runs that he managed to win any.[45]
Trump's gains were powered significantly by Hispanic Americans, who make up a significant percentage of the population of Massachusetts and shifted heavily to the right in 2024. Lawrence, a heavily Dominican American city in northern Massachusetts, gave Trump 43% of the vote, a gain of over 30% from 2020. The six most Hispanic cities in Massachusetts (namely Lawrence, Lynn, Everett, Chelsea, Holyoke, and Springfield) saw Harris' margin of victory drop a combined 18% from 2020.[46]
