The 2024 United States presidential election in Missouri 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. Missouri voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Missouri has 10 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]
A nigh-infallible bellwether state for the entirety of the 20th century going into the 2000s (only backing the losing candidate once beginning in 1904 until 2004, with its lone miss in 1956 being by 0.22% and less than 4,000 votes), Missouri has voted Republican in every presidential election since 2000 and is widely understood to have lost its bellwether status when Democrat Barack Obama of neighboring Illinois failed to carry the state in either of his presidential victories, followed by Republican Donald Trump carrying it by more than 15% in both of his election bids. As a state located almost entirely in the conservative Bible Belt, Missouri has drifted away from being a political bellwether towards the Republican Party in the 21st century and thus is today a strongly red state, with Republicans occupying every statewide office since 2023. The state is once again predicted to be securely won by the Republican candidate in 2024.[2]
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term.[3]
