In a notable shift from the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump (R) has made gains in reducing the Democratic lead in the latest 2024 election results, even as Kamala D. Harris (D) secures a majority of votes in the area.
The latest results show that Trump narrowed the margin between Democratic and Republican votes, reflecting a change in voter sentiment across the region.
In 2020, President Joe Biden won a decisive victory in the area with 142,863 votes, claiming nearly 63.8% of the vote in the county. Trump, in comparison, garnered 81,222 votes, capturing 36.2% of the total. This left a substantial margin of 61,641 votes in favor of Biden.
Fast forward to 2024, and the numbers reveal a tighter race. Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, received 124,465 votes, amounting to 57.29% of the vote, a 6.51% drop in Democratic support. Meanwhile, Trump’s numbers rose to 85,951 votes, increasing his share to 39.56%, up by 3.36 percentage points from his 2020 performance.
With all precincts reporting, Harris won the county by 38,514 votes in the 2024 election—considerably slimmer than Biden’s margin four years prior. Trump successfully trimmed 23,127 votes from the previous Democratic advantage.
The shift suggests increased support for Trump among voters and may reflect broader trends in voter concerns or shifting perspectives on policy issues under the Biden administration and Harris’s campaign.
As of 10:50 p.m., the race between Kamala D. Harris and Donald J. Trump in Virginia remains too close to call, with Harris holding a narrow lead of just 2.57 percentage points.
With 1,660,941 votes, Harris currently commands 50.19% of the vote, while Trump trails closely with 1,575,792 votes, or 47.62%. The razor-thin margin underscores the heightened stakes in Virginia, a state traditionally leaning Democratic but showing signs of tightening support in this election.
