US Election Result: List Of States Won By Republican Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump So Far

Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump has won multiple critical states in the 2024 U.S. presidential race, securing essential electoral votes as he vies for a return to the White House.

Building on his influence within the Republican Party, Trump’s campaign has centered on assertive policies on immigration, economic reform, and national security, seeking to reclaim the presidency following his 2020 loss.

Trump’s campaign messaging has resonated strongly with his base, focusing on reducing immigration and enhancing border security as a way to prioritize American jobs and safety.

His economic strategy emphasizes tax cuts, deregulation, and job creation to benefit working-class Americans, with a particular focus on bringing back manufacturing jobs and reducing U.S. reliance on foreign products.

On national security, Trump advocates for a robust defense policy, pledging to strengthen the military and enhance global counter-terrorism efforts.

With ballots still being counted, Trump’s victories in key regions have intensified the race, setting the stage for a closely contested battle as both candidates vie for the remaining electoral votes needed to claim the presidency.

Here is the list of states won by Donald Trump so far:

Texas

Donald Trump won Texas, securing 40 electoral votes. This outcome was widely anticipated, as Texas has leaned Republican in recent presidential races. Trump won the state by 6 percentage points in 2020 and by 9 points in 2016. Texas has long been a Republican stronghold, with its substantial number of electoral votes making it a crucial state for any presidential candidate.

Ohio

Donald Trump won Ohio, a crucial swing state that has leaned increasingly Republican in recent years. With 16 electoral votes at stake, Trump secured a victory in the Buckeye State, where he has won by margins of more than 8 points in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. This marked a notable shift for Ohio, which had historically supported Democrats, including President Obama in 2008 and 2012. However, the state backed the losing candidate in 2020 for the first time since 1964.

Trump’s victory in Ohio was further bolstered by his selection of the state’s junior senator, JD Vance, as his vice-presidential running mate. Despite past tensions between Trump and Vance, the senator has become one of the former president’s strongest allies.

Wyoming

Donald Trump wins Wyoming in the 2024 presidential race, continuing his dominant performance in the state. Trump previously won Wyoming by significant margins in both the 2016 and 2020 elections, defeating his Democratic opponents by approximately 45 percentage points in each cycle. Wyoming, with its three Electoral College votes, remains a solidly Republican state.

In recent years, Wyoming has gained national attention due to the outspoken criticism of Trump by former Representative Liz Cheney, a member of the state’s political establishment. Cheney, who served as vice chair of the January 6th committee, notably endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 race, marking a sharp contrast to her state’s continued support for Trump.

Louisiana

Donald Trump wins Louisiana in the 2024 presidential race, securing eight electoral votes. Trump previously won the state by a wide margin in both 2016 and 2020, capturing 58.5% of the vote in 2016 and maintaining a similar percentage in the 2020 election.

Louisiana has remained a strong Republican stronghold for decades. The last time the state voted for a Democratic president was in 1996, when President Bill Clinton won the state.

South Dakota

Donald Trump wins South Dakota in the 2024 presidential race, securing three electoral votes, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ. South Dakota, a staunchly Republican state, has supported Trump in both his previous campaigns, with the former president winning by 30 percentage points over Hillary Clinton in 2016 and by 26 percentage points over Joe Biden in 2020.

South Dakota has remained a stronghold for the Republican Party, with the last time a Democratic presidential candidate won the state being in 1964.

North Dakota

Donald Trump wins North Dakota in the 2024 presidential election, securing three electoral votes. North Dakota has consistently supported Republican candidates, with Trump maintaining strong support in the state during both his 2016 and 2020 campaigns.

Trump also benefited from the support of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who was one of his top backers after his own unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination.

Arkansas

Former President Donald Trump has secured Arkansas’ six electoral votes, marking his third consecutive win in the state. With the support of top Republican figures like Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who previously served as Trump’s White House press secretary, Arkansas remains a Republican stronghold. Trump has maintained dominance in Arkansas since Bill Clinton’s reelection in 1996.

Florida

Trump has clinched Florida’s 30 electoral votes for the third election in a row. Florida, once a battleground state, has increasingly leaned Republican in recent years. The state has not supported a Democratic candidate since 2012, when Barack Obama carried it.

Tennessee

Tennessee, which has been firmly in the Republican camp since the 1990s, gave Trump its 11 electoral votes once again. Trump’s consistent margin of victory in Tennessee has grown over the years.
Donald Trump wins Mississippi

Trump took Mississippi’s six electoral votes, continuing the state’s Republican streak that dates back to 1976. With most of the state’s Republican leadership backing his campaign, Trump’s dominance was reaffirmed.

South Carolina

South Carolina awarded Trump nine electoral votes for the third consecutive election, as the state has consistently supported Republican candidates since 1976.

Oklahoma

Oklahoma, a state that has not backed a Democrat since 1964, delivered seven electoral votes to Trump. Trump’s victory was projected at 8:00 p.m. by the Associated Press Race call.

Alabama

Trump’s win in Alabama, with nine electoral votes, marks his third consecutive victory in the state. Alabama has been reliably Republican since 1976, with the last Democratic win coming from Jimmy Carter.

West Virginia

Trump secured West Virginia’s four electoral votes, a state where he won every county in both 2016 and 2020. The AP race call declared Trump the winner at 7:30 p.m. EST.

Indiana

Trump has maintained his stronghold in Indiana, winning the state’s 11 electoral votes for the third time. The state has been reliably Republican for decades. The AP declared Trump the winner at 7:00 p.m. EST.
