Elected President

Donald Trump
Republican

Illinois is a strongly blue state in the Great Lakes region anchored by Chicago, with the sparsely populated southern region of the state being culturally influenced by the Upper South and Bible Belt. It has a reputation for being by far the most liberal state in the Great Lakes region. The state has voted for the Democratic candidate in every presidential election beginning in 1992 (doing so by at least 10% each time), including voting for Senator Barack Obama from Illinois in 2008 and 2012 and Chicago-born Hillary Clinton in 2016. This was the first election since 1868 in which Illinois did not have 20 or more electoral votes.

Illinois was won by the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Illinois shifted noticeably towards Trump, with Harris winning the state by under an 11 point margin, six points down from Biden. The state’s red shift was caused by low Democratic turnout in Cook County, home to Chicago with Harris receiving about 300,000 fewer votes than Biden in Cook County, while Trump ran marginally ahead of his 2020 raw vote total in Chicago, Cook as a whole, and statewide. Trump became the first Republican to win the White House without Kendall County or McLean County.

Kamala Harris / Tim Walz — Democratic

Here, party delegates voted on their platform for the election and formally nominated vice president Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, with Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate.

Analysis

The 2024 Presidential Election resulted in Kamala Harris carrying the state of Illinois, a historic Democratic stronghold in the Midwest. Illinois has not been won by a Republican candidate at the presidential level since 1988 as a result of most of the population being concentrated in the Chicago metropolitan area. However, Illinois took a massive 6.1% shift towards the right from 2020. This rightward shift was a result of Republicans making ground in the highly populated collar counties combined with low voter turn-out for Democrats in Cook County, home of Chicago. Illinois's shifts represents broader trends across the country with Donald Trump making improvements with key-demographics, such as Hispanics. Donald Trump's improvement among most demographics can be attributed to peoples' concern regarding the state of the economy and the inflation rate.

Notes

The state party only nominated Joe Biden as a candidate, cancelling the primary.
