The 2024 United States presidential election in Delaware took 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. Delaware voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Delaware has 3 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat.

Delaware is the home state of incumbent President Joe Biden, and has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1988. It is a strongly blue state on the East Coast with the majority of the population being concentrated in the urban northern part of the state, despite the southern portion being rural and having some Southern cultural influence.

Harris carried Delaware by 14.7%, a noticeable decrease from Biden's 19% margin in 2020. This compares to Harris significantly underperforming in many other blue states. Harris carried Kent County, Delaware, a bellwether county, despite losing the election, which last occurred in 1992. Trump is the first Republican to win the presidency without the county since 1924.

Primary elections

The Delaware Republican primary was scheduled to be held on April 2, 2024, alongside primaries in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. As all other primary candidates besides Donald Trump withdrew their names from the ballot, the primary was cancelled on March 19, giving Trump all 16 pledged delegates.
