The 2024 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Ohio voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. Ohio had 17 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state lost a seat.[ 1]
Republican Donald Trump ultimately won Ohio for the third straight election, defeating Democrat Kamala Harris by 11.21%, the widest presidential margin of victory in the state since fellow Republican Ronald Reagan 's 18.76% in 1984 . Prior to the election, all major news organizations considered Ohio a state Trump would once again win, or a likely red state . A former bellwether state , Ohio has not been won by a Democrat at the presidential level since fellow Midwesterner Barack Obama did in 2012 and since then has been trending towards the GOP, with the state nowadays being moderately to strongly Republican and Trump's 2024 statewide victory being the first double-digit win at the presidential level for Ohio since Republican George H.W. Bush 's 10.85% in 1988 .

Democratic ballot access controversy
Due to the Democratic National Convention taking place on August 19, 2024, which occurs more than a week after the August 7 deadline to certify a presidential candidate for office, under ordinary rules, the eventual Democratic nominee would be disqualified from the ballot.[ 15] [ 16] Efforts to create an emergency fix had stalled in the Ohio Legislature . The state House adjourned without considering a fix on May 8.[ 17] On May 21, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose provided an update confirming that efforts to rectify the situation were at an impasse, as the state legislature would not take up the issue and the Ohio Democratic Party had offered no "legally acceptable remedy" up to that point. He further clarified that if the party does not work toward a solution themselves, their presidential nominee will not be listed on the November ballot.[ 18]
On May 23, Governor Mike DeWine called for a special legislative session and tasked lawmakers with ensuring Biden's inclusion on the ballot. Republican leaders in the state Senate, with DeWine's support, hope to pass a bill that will tie solving the ballot access issue to a ban on foreign contributions toward ballot measure efforts in the state. Ohio Democratic Party chair Elizabeth Walters and state House minority leader Allison Russo have signaled their opposition to the ban, which has been described as a poison pill amendment ; a spokesperson for DeWine later said that a bill dealing only with the ballot access issue could also be considered.[ 19]
After the state legislature appeared unable to address the issue, the Democratic Party announced on May 28 that a virtual roll call nomination, similar to the process used by the party in 2020, would take place two weeks before the 2024 Democratic National Convention to nominate Biden and meet Ohio's deadline.[ 20] Nonetheless, the Ohio legislature passed a bill on June 1 extending the deadline to August 23,[ 21] which DeWine signed on June 2.[ 22] However, because the law did not take effect until September 1, Democrats continued with the roll call to meet the original deadline.[ 23]
Green Party ballot access controversy
Green Party nominee Jill Stein also appeared on the ballot, though votes for her did not count due to her nominating a running mate after the state deadline. Citing the law that allowed Joe Biden to be nominated, the Green Party attempted to use this exact ruling in their favor to swap VP candidates. However, VP candidate Anita Rios testified in federal court that she did not sign the withdraw form and that someone unknown to the Stein campaign submitted a forgery of her signature. The Green Party argued that the Secretary of State should have never accepted the withdraw letter, saying the signature of Rios was a PDF copy from her 2014 governorship candidacy paperwork.[ 24] The Stein campaign stated that a letter to the Ohio Secretary of State requesting removal from the ballot was "fraudulent".[ 25]
A hearing to restore ballot access for Stein was scheduled for October 22, in which the federal courts abstained from making a ruling on the case. The Stein campaign and the Ohio Green Party announced that they will continue the lawsuit to make the votes for Stein-Rios in Ohio count.[ 26]

Trump won 11 of 15 congressional districts, including one that elected a Democrat.[ 78]
Analysis
A heavily populated Midwestern state located mainly in the Rust Belt , with the southern portion of the state having cultural influence from the Upper South and Bible Belt , Ohio had been considered a vital bellwether state for decades and had been decided by single digits at the presidential level since 1992 , but has been trending towards the political right in recent years and is now considered a moderately red state . The state voted significantly more Republican than the U.S. at large when Donald Trump carried the state by just over eight points in the past two elections, despite polls showing a tight race in both cycles, especially in 2020 , in which the state backed the losing presidential candidate for the first time in 60 years . This is the first time since 1988 that the state voted Republican in three consecutive presidential elections and the first time since 2012 that it voted for the winner of the national popular vote.
The GOP's success in Ohio during the 2022 midterms has further testified to the state's rightward shift and the end of its swing-state status at the presidential level. Ohio was widely expected to be carried again by Trump in the November general election.[ 79] JD Vance 's selection was seen as a strategic effort to bolster support in the Midwest (especially his home state) and among Trump supporters. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gathered enough signatures to appear on the ballot.[ 80]
The election was held concurrently with a U.S. Senate race in Ohio, in which Republican nominee Bernie Moreno unseated Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown , flipping the state's last remaining Democratic statewide seat into the GOP camp; this was partly credited to Trump's overall success in the state. Additionally, an attempt to establish a redistricting commission (with the goal of ending gerrymandering ) was proposed on the state's ballot but was defeated after being denounced by Trump.[ 81] [ 82] This was also, in part, credited towards Trump's popularity in the state amongst other factors.[ 83]
