Idaho’s Role in the 2024 Presidential Election: Electoral Votes and Projections

In the 2024 presidential election, Idaho plays a consistent role as a reliably Republican state. Here are the key points regarding Idaho’s electoral votes:

Idaho has 4 electoral votes, which is determined by the state’s two senators and its two representatives in the House of Representatives. This number is based on the 2020 census data and will remain the same for the 2024 and 2028 presidential elections.

Historically, Idaho has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1968. This trend is expected to continue in the 2024 election, with the state likely to support the Republican candidate, in this case, former President Donald Trump.

The electoral votes from Idaho are part of the broader Electoral College system, where a candidate must secure at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. Idaho’s votes, although relatively few, contribute to the overall tally and can be significant in a closely contested election.
