The2020 United States presidential election in Missouri was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of the2020 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus theDistrict of Columbia participated.[1]Missouri voters chose electors to represent them in theElectoral College via a popular vote, pitting theRepublican Party's nominee, incumbent PresidentDonald Trump ofFlorida, and running mateVice PresidentMike Pence ofIndiana againstDemocratic Party nominee, former Vice PresidentJoe Biden ofDelaware, and his running mate SenatorKamala Harris ofCalifornia. Missouri had 10 electoral votes in the Electoral College.[2]
Trump won Missouri again by a 15.4% margin. This was 3.1% lower than his2016 margin, but still a better performance in the state than that of any other Republican nominee sinceRonald Reagan in1984. Prior to the election, most news organizations considered this a state Trump would win; during the 21st century Missouri has shifted away from being one of the most notable bellwether states towards becoming a reliably red state. Trump became the first incumbent president sinceGrover Cleveland in1888 to win Missouri and lose re-election and the first-ever Republican incumbent to do so. This is also the first time since1916 (and only the second time ever) that Missouri has voted more Republican than neighboringKansas.
In this election Missouri voted nearly 20% more Republican than the nation as a whole.

Abellwether state for the bulk of the 20th century, Missouri has since come to vote reliably Republican in presidential elections. This has been attributed to a shift in Republican policy towardsright-wing populism andsocial conservatism; the platform has found fertile ground in the state, which lies in theBible Belt, with Trump carrying 86% ofWhite,born-again/EvangelicalChristians.[48]
Biden won the same four jurisdictions thatBarack Obama andHillary Clinton did in2012 and2016, respectively:Jackson County, home toKansas City;Boone County, home to thecollege town ofColumbia; andSt. Louis County, home to the suburbs ofSt. Louis, which he also won. Biden also improved Democratic margins inPlatte andClay counties, both suburbs ofKansas City; Platte was carried by Trump by only 3%, and Clay by 4%. In addition, the 61% of the vote that Biden won in St. Louis County was the best performance for a Democrat sinceLyndon B. Johnson's1964 landslide.[citation needed]
Perexit polls by theAssociated Press, Trump's strength in Missouri came from voters who trusted him oneconomic policy: a 57% majority believed Trump was better able tohandleinternational trade. With a hybridindustrial-service-agricultural economy, 63% of Missourian voters favored increasingtaxes on goods imported to the U.S. from other countries, and these voters broke for Trump by 67%. As is the case in manySouthern andborder states, there was a stark racial divide in voting for this election: White Missourians supported Trump by 62%, whileblack Missourians supported Biden by 88%. Trump became the first-ever Republican presidential candidate to win Missouri by double digits twice.[48]
In other elections, incumbent RepublicanMike Parson easily defeatedState AuditorNicole Galloway by 16 points—outperforming Trump—in thegovernor's race, further testifying to the state's trend towards the GOP, and becoming the best performance for a Republican on the gubernatorial level sinceJohn Ashcroft's1988 victory.
