The 2024 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Minnesota voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Minnesota has 10 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.[1]

Democrat Kamala Harris, running with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, won the state by 4.2 points, marking the thirteenth consecutive Democratic presidential win in Minnesota, the longest-active such streak of any U.S. state. Her margin was lower than Joe Biden's 7-point margin in 2020, but better than Hillary Clinton's 1.5-point margin in 2016. Prior to the election, all major news organizations considered Minnesota a state Harris would win, or otherwise a lean to likely blue state.

Background

[edit]

Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden was running for reelection to a second term and became the Democratic presumptive nominee, but he withdrew from the race on July 21.[2][3] He then endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who launched her presidential campaign the same day.[4] The Republican nominee was former president Donald Trump.[5] Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has qualified for the ballot.[6] Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.[7] This decision was seen as a strategic effort to bolster support in the Midwest as well as among progressives. Walz's local popularity, progressive stances, and his record of addressing state-level issues were expected to positively influence voter turnout in Minnesota, and potentially secure the state for the Democratic ticket.[8]

Analysis

[edit]

An upper Midwestern state at the western end of the Great Lakes, Minnesota is seen as a moderately blue state. It has the longest active streak of voting for Democratic presidential nominees of any U.S. state; the last Republican to win Minnesota was Richard Nixon in 1972, against the backdrop of his 49-state landslide reelection; and it was also the only state to not back Ronald Reagan in 1984, with favorite son Walter Mondale victorious in his home state by a slim margin. However, presidential elections in Minnesota have consistently been competitive in the 21st century, with no Democrat carrying the state by double digits with the exception of Midwesterner Barack Obama in 2008 narrowly doing so by 10.2 percentage points. Minnesota was considered to be a Democratic-leaning state in this election; in the weeks leading up to Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential campaign, polls indicated a somewhat tight race in the state, but when Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee, Minnesota polls shifted somewhat more in the Democrats' favor.

Republican Donald Trump narrowly flipped four Minnesota counties that Biden had won in 2020: Carlton, located in the unionized, formerly heavily Democratic and now competitive Iron Range and home to Cloquet; Blue Earth, anchored by Mankato, where Minnesota State University is located; Nicollet, anchored by North Mankato and St. Peter; and Winona, home to the town of the same name, the location of Winona State University; all of the aforementioned cities nevertheless remained in Harris' column.[69] Trump became the first Republican presidential nominee to win Carlton County since Herbert Hoover in 1928. With Harris narrowly winning Clay County, which houses Moorhead, this was the first presidential election since 1988 in which said county did not back the winning candidate; during that election, it favored Democrat Michael Dukakis over Republican George H. W. Bush.[70]
