The2020 United States presidential election in Wyoming was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of the2020 United States presidential election in which all 50states and theDistrict of Columbia participated.[2]Wyoming voters chose electors to represent them in theElectoral College via a popular vote, pitting theRepublican Party's nominee, incumbent PresidentDonald Trump and running mateVice PresidentMike Pence, againstDemocratic Party nominee, former Vice PresidentJoe Biden and his running mate California SenatorKamala Harris. Wyoming has three electoral votes in the Electoral College.[3] Trump, the Republican nominee and incumbentpresident of the United States, won the state's three electoral votes.
Trump routed Biden in Wyoming, with his 69.94% vote share there making it his strongest win in the election. He won the sparsely populated state by a margin of 43.39%, down from his 46.29% four years earlier. Prior to the election, all news organizations declared Wyoming a safered state, therefore justifying its status as one of the safest red states in the country, not being won by a Democrat sinceLyndon B. Johnson's1964 landslide victory. Trump's 69.94% of the vote is the third-highest ever by a presidential candidate in Wyoming, only surpassed byRonald Reagan's 70.51% during his1984 landslide and by Trump's 71.60% in2024.
Despite his loss, Biden scored a landslide win inTeton County, garnering a larger vote share in it than any nominee since1984. He also narrowly flipped the bellwether ofAlbany County, anchored by thecollege town ofLaramie, which had supported Obama in2008 before returning to the Republican Party in2012 and2016, albeit by a narrow margin.[4] Perexit polls by theAssociated Press, Trump's strength in Wyoming came fromwhite people, who comprised 89% of the electorate, and from voters prioritizingenergy policy, with 62% believing the government should focus on expanding production offossil fuels such asoil,gas, orcoal.[5]
The Democratic caucuses were originally scheduled for April 4, 2020. On March 22, due to concerns over theCOVID-19 pandemic, theWyoming Democratic Party canceled in-person voting in favor of mail-in voting. The deadline was also extended to April 17.[6]
