The 2024 United States presidential election in Colorado 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. Colorado voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Colorado has 10 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state gained a seat.[1]
No Republican has won Colorado by double digits at the presidential level since Ronald Reagan in his 1984 landslide re-election victory. Colorado was later consistently competitive at this level from the late 1980s going through the 2010s, except in 2020, when Democrat Joe Biden carried the state and became the first presidential candidate to win Colorado by a double-digit margin since Reagan. The last Republican to win the Centennial State’s electoral votes was George W. Bush in his 2004 re-election victory. Today, Colorado is a slightly to moderately blue state with Democrats winning the state in every presidential election starting in 2008 and occupying every statewide office since 2023. However, Colorado is still considered to be a secondary battleground state and is likely to be targeted by both main parties in 2024 given its competitive recent history as well as its relative closeness in 2016.
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for re-election to a second term.[2] On December 19, 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump is disqualified from the Presidency under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and ordered that Trump be removed from the 2024 Colorado Republican presidential primary ballot.[3][4] Trump appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court of the United States, and arguments were heard in February.[5] The Colorado decision was stayed pending appeal, and Trump was included on the certified ballot, which began to be mailed to overseas voters on January 20.[6] On March 4, 2024, the Supreme Court issued a ruling unanimously reversing the Colorado Supreme Court decision, ruling that states had no authority to remove Trump from their ballots, and this was instead a power held by Congress.[7]
