The 2024 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place 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. Wyoming voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Wyoming has three electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state gained no further congressional seats.
A sparsely populated Mountain West state, Wyoming is considered to be a deeply red state, and Donald Trump was expected to easily win the state. Wyoming has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964. It has also not voted more Democratic than the nation as a whole since Woodrow Wilson in 1916. Wyoming has also not had a Democratic statewide official since 2006. Furthermore, it had been Trump's second-strongest state in 2016 and his strongest in 2020, voting for Trump by more than a 40% margin in both elections.
On election day, Trump again fared better in Wyoming than in any other state, winning it by 45.76%. Trump's 71.60% vote share in the state was the highest a presidential nominee has ever received in Wyoming, surpassing Ronald Reagan's 70.51% of the vote in 1984. This was despite Trump not winning every county in the state, which last occurred in 2000. Teton County gave Harris 66% of the vote, the second-highest for a Democratic candidate in its history after 2020.
Trump's performance in Wyoming marked the first time that any nominee won over 70% of the vote in any state since 2012, when Barack Obama did so in Hawaii and Mitt Romney in Utah.
