The 2024 United States presidential election in Nebraska is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Nebraska voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Nebraska has 5 electoral votes.
A sparsely-populated and overwhelmingly-White state in the Great Plains, Nebraska has voted Republican in nearly every presidential election since its statehood, making exceptions only for favorite son William Jennings Bryan; Woodrow Wilson; FDR in his first two terms; and landslide winner Lyndon B. Johnson. This did not change in the long term after the ideological realignment of the two main parties in the mid-20th century, as presidential Democrats have not even been able to come within single digits of carrying the state after LBJ's narrow sweep in 1964, and the only one to win more than 40% of the state vote since then was Barack Obama who garnered 41.60% in 2008.
However, the state's 2nd congressional district, which contains Omaha and some of its suburbs, has been competitive since 2008, when Obama narrowly won the district by 1.22% in the first election where Nebraska — one of two states that can split their electoral votes, the other being Maine — awarded a Democrat any of its EVs in 44 years. This leftward shift is primarily owed to recent population growth experienced by the Omaha metro. In 2020, NE-2 flipped back to the blue column when Democrat Joe Biden won it by 6.5%. While Nebraska at-large is heavily favored to remain a safe red state in 2024, NE-2 is generally seen as either a tossup or leaning towards the Democratic candidate. [1]

In 2024, there was a push from some Republicans who attempted to get rid of split electoral college vote to winner-takes-all voting. This was supported by Former President Donald Trump, Governor Jim Pillen, 2nd District Congressman Don Bacon, [3] and Charlie Kirk from Turning Point USA. [4] [5] [6]
