The 2024 United States presidential election in Maryland took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Maryland voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Maryland has 10 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat.
Due to the progressive influence of the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan areaâÂÂhome to the majority of Maryland's population and most of Maryland's significant African American populationâÂÂDemocrats have consistently won Maryland's electoral votes by double-digit margins since 1992. While relatively rural regions like Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore remain more conservative, their impact is outweighed by the state's urban centers. In 2020, Joe Biden from neighboring Delaware won Maryland by 33 points. Maryland was widely expected to remain a safe blue state in 2024.
Harris comfortably won the state by about 28.5%, but by a margin almost 5 points lower than Joe Biden. Maryland was Harris's second-strongest state, after Vermont. Trump became the first Republican presidential nominee to surpass one million votes in Maryland since George W. Bush in 2004. Larry Hogan, who was concurrently running for the U.S. Senate, ran 17 points ahead of Trump.
Trump became the first Republican to win the White House without winning Frederick County since Abraham Lincoln in 1860, and Harris the first unsuccessful Democrat to ever win the county.
Only one county, Garrett County, shifted towards Harris from 2020. Maryland also had the closest county in the nation, Talbot County, which was decided by just 6 votes.
With 1.1% of the total vote share, Maryland was Green Party candidate Jill Stein's best state.
