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 had been a Democratic leaning state since 1928, and a Democratic stronghold since 1960, and is still considered a deeply blue state today.[a] Democrats have consistently defeated Republicans by large margins in Massachusetts since 1996. In 2020, Biden won the state by more than 33%, the largest margin since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
Harris won Massachusetts, including every county in the state, winning it by 25 points. This was an 8-point smaller margin than Biden, following a trend of blue states, such as New York, California and Illinois, shifting significantly red - posssibly as a result of poor turnout for Democrats compared to 2020 and 2016.[1]
