Elections in New Mexico |
---|
The 2024 United States presidential election in New Mexico 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. New Mexico voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of New Mexico has five 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. [1]
Since gaining statehood, New Mexico has voted for the winner of the popular vote in every presidential election except for 1976 (only backing the losing candidate by 2.47% and 10,271 votes) and in addition to its bellwether status is today a slightly to moderately blue state, with Democrats holding all statewide offices since 2019 and Democratic presidential candidates consistently winning the state since 2008. New Mexico's Democratic lean can be largely credited to the state's sizeable Latino population, which in recent years has become a plurality. The state is favored to remain in the Democratic column in 2024. [2]
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term. [3] If he carries New Mexico while losing the Electoral College, he will be the first presidential candidate since fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 to do so; and if he wins the state while losing the national popular vote, he will be only the second to do so in New Mexico history, joining Republican Gerald Ford in 1976.
The New Mexico Democratic primary is scheduled to be held on June 4, 2024, alongside primaries in the District of Columbia, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota.
The New Mexico Republican primary is scheduled to be held on June 4, 2024, alongside primaries in the District of Columbia, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota.
