The 2024 United States presidential election in New York 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. New York voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of New York had 28 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state lost a seat.[1]

A heavily-populated Northeastern state, New York has voted Democratic in every election since 1988, and has done so by at least 10% since 1992. A strongly blue state at the federal level, Democratic strength in the Empire State is mainly focused on New York City (the most populous city in the country) and its metropolitan area, followed by Greater Buffalo and the Capital Region.

Polling had indicated a potentially closer race in New York in 2024 than in 2016 or 2020, but Democrats still consistently led by margins well outside the margin of error.[2][3] Although won by Harris, it was the worst performance of any Democratic candidate since 1988. Harris won the state by an 11.6% margin, about half of Biden's margin of 23.13% four years prior.

In terms of raw number of votes cast, this was overall Trump's best performance in New York out of his three presidential races (improving on his vote tally with each election) and it was the highest number of votes cast for any Republican presidential candidate in the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984, the most recent time a Republican presidential candidate won New York. This is also the first time since George W. Bush in 2004 in which the Republican candidate received over 40% of the vote and carried Rockland County, as well as the first time the Republican candidate has carried Nassau and Clinton County since 1988 and 1992, respectively.

General election

[edit]

Only two candidates appeared on the ballot in New York: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Harris will be under the Democratic and Working Families Party ticket while Trump will be running on the Republican and the New York Conservative Party ticket.[11] Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will not be appearing on the ballot in New York[12] after Judge Christina Ryba of the 3rd New York Judicial District[13] ruled that he had listed his place of residence as being in Katonah, New York to be false and that he actually lived in Los Angeles.[14]

The state authorized votes for 12 write-in candidates:[15]
