The 2024 United States presidential straw poll in Guam took place on November 5, 2024. Guam is a territory and not a state, making it ineligible to elect members of the Electoral College. Instead, Guam conducts a non-binding presidential straw poll during the general election. [1]

Contents

In the 2024 presidential election, incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden initially ran for re-election and became the party's presumptive nominee. [2] However, he withdrew from the race on July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who launched her presidential campaign the same day. [3] The Republican nominee is former president Donald Trump. [4] . This is the first time since 2000 that the straw poll voted for the candidate which lost the national popular vote.

Background

Guam has held a straw poll coinciding with every presidential election since 1980 to gauge residents' preferences and raise awareness regarding the territory's lack of federal representation. [5]

In the 2020 presidential straw poll, Biden defeated then-incumbent President Donald Trump with 55.38% of the popular vote. [6] .
