The 2024 United States presidential election in the District of Columbia took place 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. District of Columbia voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The District of Columbia has 3 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the district neither gained nor lost a seat. Per the Constitution, the District of Columbia can not be apportioned more members of the Electoral College than the number apportioned to the state with the fewest. [2]

As an extremely blue urban district with an African American plurality, Democrats have faced no challenge to earning the District of Columbia's electoral votes in presidential elections since it was first granted its electoral college representation. Starting with Lyndon B. Johnson's victory in 1964, every Democratic nominee for president has won the District by massive margins, including the 49-state landslide defeats of George McGovern and Walter Mondale in 1972 and 1984. Thus, the district was expected to be a certain lock for Kamala Harris in 2024. [3]
Harris won the district overwhelmingly with 90.28% of the vote. The district was both Harris' strongest electoral jurisdiction and county-equivalent jurisdiction, voting more Democratic than all state counties in the United States. [4] Trump won 6.47% of the vote, his best performance in terms of percentage of votes cast in all three of his runs.
