The upcoming Presidential election in Mississippi is scheduled for November 5, 2024. The Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris from California, will be facing off against the Republican nominee, Donald Trump from Florida. Mississippi holds 6 electoral votes in this election, and with Vice President Harris running instead of the incumbent President Joe Biden, who was first elected in 2020, the state is set to play a role in determining the next President of the United States.
In Mississippi, the demographic breakdown shows that Non-Hispanic Whites make up 57% of the population, followed by Black individuals at 38%, Hispanics at 4%, and Asians at 1%. The state does not have a significant Native American population.
In the previous two Presidential elections, Mississippi has consistently voted for the Republican candidate, with Donald Trump winning in both 2016 and 2020 by margins of 17.8% and 16.8%, respectively. The state's election outcome is skewed towards the Republican nominee, making it a non-competitive state in the upcoming election.
