Maine 2024 Presidential Election Live Results

Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris will face off in Maine for the state’s four Electoral College votes. Maine does not award all of the Electoral College votes to a single winner, but instead apportions them, awarding two to the winner of the statewide popular vote and one to the winner of each of the state’s two congressional districts stands. Trump’s pitch to voters focused on the economy, immigration and crime. Since taking over as Democratic standard-bearer after President Joe Biden resigned, Harris has argued she would usher in a new era and has campaigned on improving the healthcare economy, protecting abortion rights and safeguarding democracy. In 2020, Biden won 53% of the statewide vote and also won one congressional district. Trump lost the statewide contest by 44%, but won one congressional district and therefore received one vote in the Electoral College. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the state with 48% of the vote statewide, compared to Trump’s 45% and one congressional district. Maine voted predominantly Republican until 1988 (the last Republican to win the state was George HW Bush that year), but has mainly supported Democratic candidates since then.
