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.[2] 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.[3]
The most populous state in the union, California is considered a strong blue state, having voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1992. In these contests, it has supported Democratic candidates by double digits in each of them except for 2004, when John Kerry won it by 9.95 points. It was widely expected that California voters would continue to vote in this fashion, particularly with Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee; Harris was 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. Harris was the first Californian to appear on a major party presidential ticket since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In the election Harris indeed carried California by just over 20 points with more than 9.2 million votes. Nevertheless, her margin was noticeably smaller than Joe Biden's 29-point win in 2020, a trend observed in other blue states such as Massachusetts, New York and Illinois, all of which witnessed a decline in Democratic voter turnout.[4] Harris's performance in California was the worst for a Democratic candidate since 2004; she was also the first Democratic candidate since 2004 not to receive at least 60% of the vote.
