The 2024 United States presidential election in Massachusetts was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections. Massachusetts voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Massachusetts has 11 electoral votes in the Electoral College.
A New England state, Massachusetts had been a Democratic leaning state since 1928, and a Democratic stronghold since 1960, and is still considered a deeply blue state today. Democrats have consistently defeated Republicans by large margins in Massachusetts since 1996. In 2020, Joe Biden won the state by more than 33%, the largest margin since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
Harris won Massachusetts with sizable margin as expected, winning it by just under 20 points. However, this was an 13-point smaller margin than Biden, following a trend of blue states, such as New York, California and Illinois, shifting significantly red.This was the first time since Clinton in 1992 that a Democratic nominee won the state by less than 20 points. Trump's share of the vote was the highest for a republican since Bush in 1988, he also flipped Bristol County.

## Analysis

This was the first time that a Democrat won less than 50% of the vote in Bristol County since 1992, the closest a Republican had come to winning a single Massachusetts county since 1988, and the first time a Republican candidate won Fall River since 1924. In fact, Bristol County was originally called for Trump before additional vote counts swung it back into the Democratic margin. In addition, it was the first time a Republican candidate won Somerset since 1956, and the first time a Republican candidate won Westport and Seekonk (all in Bristol County) since 1984. Of the 351 municipalities in Massachusetts, Trump flipped 26, while Harris flipped none. Of the 351 municipalities in Massachusetts, 339 shifted towards Trump, while a mere 12 shifted towards Harris. Harris's largest gain was in Gosnold, where she improved the margin of victory by 12.2%, while Trump's largest gain was in Lawrence, where he cut his margin of defeat by 31%.
Trump's gains were powered significantly by Hispanic Americans, who make up a significant percentage of Massachusetts and shifted heavily to the right in 2024. Lawrence, a heavily Dominican American city in northern Massachusetts, gave Trump 43% of the vote - over a 30% margin drop from 2020. The six most Hispanic cities in Massachusetts (namely Lawrence, Lynn, Everett, Chelsea, Holyoke, and Springfield) saw Harris' margin of victory drop a combined 18% from 2020.
