The 2024 United States presidential election in the District of Columbia 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. District of Columbia voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The District of Columbia has 3 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the district neither gained nor lost a seat. Per the Constitution, the District of Columbia cannot be apportioned more members of the Electoral College than the number apportioned to the state apportioned the fewest.[1]
As an urban area with an African American predominance, Democrats have put up virtually no fight in carrying the District of Columbia in presidential elections since it was first granted its electoral votes starting with Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 landslide, a turning point in the party's shift to the political left. Since then, no Democratic presidential candidate has won less 74% of the vote in DC, nor has any Republican presidential candidate won more than 22%. Thus, the district is predicted to again be a very easy Democratic win in 2024.[2]
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term.[3]
