2024 United States presidential election in Arizona

The 2024 United States presidential election in Arizona is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Arizona voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Arizona has 11 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat.^[1] Arizona is considered to be a crucial swing state in 2024.

Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden was running for reelection to a second term, and became the party's presumptive nominee.^[2] However, following what was widely viewed as a poor performance in the June 2024 presidential debate and amid increasing age and health concerns from within his party, he withdrew from the race on July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris (from neighboring California), who launched her presidential campaign the same day.^[3]

The Republican nominee is former president Donald Trump.^[4] This race is considered to be a tossup given the state's nearly even partisan lean. Formerly a moderately red state in the American Southwest, Trump won Arizona in 2016 by 3.5%, a major drop in margin of Republican victory in the traditional GOP stronghold compared to previous cycles, despite an overall more favorable year for Republicans than the previous two presidential elections. Biden narrowly won in Arizona in 2020 by 0.3%. The state is now considered a purple state.

Attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has gathered enough signatures to appear on the ballot, as he announced in late February.^[5]
