Harris won all five congressional districts.[24]
| District | Harris | Trump | Representative |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 60.61% | 37.73% | John B. Larson |
| 2nd | 53.03% | 45.30% | Joe Courtney |

Harris won all five congressional districts, performing best in the fourth district, matching Biden's strongest result there in 2020. However, she ceded ground by 1.71% to 3.93% across districts compared to 2020, despite a uniform victory. Such a result was also consistent with her underperformance in comparison to Democratic nominees for theelection to the House of Representatives.
Conversely, Trump outran Republican nominees in four out of five districts, earning a poorer result in the fifth district. He still improved on his 2020 performance in all five districts, gaining 2.01% to 3.71% more votes.[29][24]
Fourteen towns that voted forBiden in2020 voted forTrump in 2024:Andover,Bristol,Brookfield,Burlington,Derby,Durham,Haddam,Hampton,Montville,New Milford,North Canaan,Suffield,Willington, andWoodstock. One town (Warren) that voted for Trump in 2020 voted forHarris in 2024.[30]
