In recent years, Democrats have seen some success in the state, such as defeating the2022 Kansas abortion referendum and holding thegovernorship since2019. This leftward shift has been attributed to the growth of theKansas City metropolitan area, more specificallyJohnson County, the state's most populous, which supportedJoe Biden four years prior, the first win for a Democrat in this county since1916.[26] While Democrats had hoped that their margin of defeat would narrow further after favorable polls and Biden's favorable results compared to 2016, Kansas instead shifted to the right, with Trump improving on his margin[27] and Republicans in the state legislature expanding their supermajorities.[28]
Trump improved on his 14.6% margin from 2020, albeit by only 1.5% compared to the national average of about 6%, meaning Kansas voted to the right of the nation by a smaller margin in 2024. As such, Trump is the first Republican to win the White House without Johnson County sinceWilliam McKinley in1896, and the first since Kansas achieved statehood to win withoutRiley County, home toFort Riley andKansas State University, andShawnee County, home to the state capital ofTopeka (though he was less than 500 votes away from winning each of the latter two counties).Johnson County was the only county that supported Biden in 2020 in which Kamala Harris improved the Democratic margin.
