The2024 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the2024 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus theDistrict of Columbia participated.Virginia voters chose electors to represent them in theElectoral College via a popular vote. The state of Virginia has 13 electoral votes in the Electoral College, followingreapportionment due to the2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat.
Before the election, most news organizations considered Virginia a likely win for Harris. This was the first presidential election in which both major party candidates received more than 2 million votes in Virginia. On election day, Harris won Virginia with 51.83% of the vote, carrying the state by a margin of 5.78%, similar to the2016 results, albeit slightly wider. In 2016, Virginia U.S. SenatorTim Kaine was the Democratic vice presidential nominee. Kaine also won by a slightly larger 9 percentage point margin in the concurrent2024 U.S. Senate election in Virginia.
Harris became the first Democratic nominee to win Virginia while losing the nationwide popular vote since1924, a century earlier. Meanwhile, neighboringWest Virginia gave Trump 70% of the vote, with the two states differing by 48 percentage points in margin. Trump became the first president to win two terms without ever carrying Virginia sinceBill Clinton in1992 and1996, and the first Republican to do so sinceWilliam McKinley in1896 and1900.
Virginia is the only formerConfederate state Trump never won in any of his three runs. Although Virginia swung rightward in 2024, it trended leftward and voted over 7 percentage points to the left of the nation, compared to 5 percentage points in2020, and 3 percentage points in2016. This was also the first time a Democratic nominee who lost the popular vote won anabsolute majority of the vote in Virginia since 1924.[1]
This election confirmed Virginia's status as ablue state. Virginia voted for the loser of the popular vote for the first time since2000, and the loser of both the electoral vote and popular vote since 1996. This was similar to howFlorida in 2024 voted for Trump by over 13%, afterFlorida in 2020 backed Trump despite him losing both the electoral vote and popular vote.[a]
The Virginia Democratic primary was held onSuper Tuesday, March 5, 2024. Incumbent presidentJoe Biden won the state and all 11 of itscongressional districts, securing 99 pledged delegates. ActivistMarianne Williamson garnered 8% of the vote total, which was her second-best performance on Super Tuesday afterOklahoma.

In August 2024,Virginia governorGlenn Youngkin signed an executive order removing 6,303 voters suspected of being non-citizens from Virginia's voter rolls.[4][5] In October 2024, theDepartment of Justice sued the Virginia Board of Elections and Virginia commissioner of elections over the voter purge, accusing that it violated the National Voter Registration Act.[6][7] The suit also found a number of alleged non-citizens purged were actually citizens.[7][8] District judgePatricia Tolliver Giles ruled that the removal was illegal, ordering the state to stop purging voter rolls and to restore the voter registration of more than 1,600 voters who had been removed.[9][8] The4th Circuit Court of Appeals then upheld the order.[10][11] The administration filed an emergency appeal to theSupreme Court, which sided with Virginia in a 6–3 decision, allowing the state to continue purging voter rolls.[12][11]

Despite losing the state, Trump made notable gains across much of the Commonwealth, particularly in theNorthern andSouthside regions of Virginia.[74] In Northern Virginia, Trump made significant gains inLoudoun County, Virginia (21% Asian and 14% Hispanic),Fairfax County, Virginia (20% Asian and 17% Hispanic), andPrince William County, Virginia (10% Asian and 25% Hispanic), which have significantAsian andHispanic populations. Northern Virginia as a whole swung 8% rightward.[75] The state also swung rightward in the concurrent2024 United States Senate election in Virginia, as DemocratTim Kaine won by a 9% margin, down from his 16% margin in2018.[76]
Trump reclaimedLynchburg City, flippedPrince Edward County, which had not voted Republican in a presidential election since2000, and also flippedSurry County, which last supported a Republican presidential candidate in1972. Harris, by contrast, did not flip any counties or independent cities in Virginia.[77]
Harris did improve slightly in someGreater Richmond counties, includingChesterfield County. Virginia was one of the few states in the country to have many counties shift leftward. Despite losingYork County (home toYorktown, Virginia), Harris won 46% of the vote in the county, the highest percentage since1964.[78]
This was the first time since2000 that Virginia voted for the popular vote loser, and the first time since1996 that Virginia backed the loser of both the electoral vote and the overall popular vote. Virginia voted over 7 percentage points to the left of the nation (5.78%+1.48%=7.26%), voting for a Democratic nominee who lost the popular vote for the first time since1924.
Harris won the state by 5.78%, worse than Biden's 10.11% margin but slightly improved from Hillary Clinton's 5.32% margin in2016. Tim Kaine was the 2016 Democratic vice presidential nominee, likely providing a home state advantage to Clinton in 2016.
Nevertheless, Trump became the first ever Republican to win the White House without carrying the city ofVirginia Beach since it became an independent city in 1952 as well as the first to do so without carryingChesterfield orStafford Counties sinceCalvin Coolidge in1924, and the first to do so without carryingJames City County or the city ofChesapeake sinceRichard Nixon in1968. Trump became the first president to win two terms without ever carrying Virginia sinceBill Clinton in1992 and1996, and the first Republican to do so sinceWilliam McKinley in1896 and1900.
This was also the third consecutive election in which Virginia voted Democratic whileFlorida voted Republican, which had previously not occurred since1876. Trump wonFlorida in 2024 by over 13 percentage points, with Florida having backed Trump even when Trump lost both the electoral vote and popular vote in2020. While Florida shifted dramatically rightward during the Trump era, Virginia shifted dramatically leftward.
Although Harris lost bothswing states ofNorth Carolina andGeorgia, two otherSouthern states, both also trended leftward. Both swung by less than 3%, compared to the national swing of about 6%. Harris outperformed Clinton’s 2016 margins in both Southern swing states.[79] Harris won in Virginia, as over 18% of adults in Virginia have graduate degrees, perList of U.S. states and territories by educational attainment. By comparison, just 13-14% of adults in North Carolina and Georgia have graduate degrees.[80]
The localities that make up Northern Virginia—we are using a somewhat conservative definition by calling Loudoun County its western border and Prince William County its southern border—collectively swung 8 percentage points rightward.
