In a surprising turn of events, Kamala Harris won Massachusetts with 61.4% of the votes, while Donald Trump secured 36.4%. Despite Harris’s victory, Trump’s strength was evident in several parts of the state, particularly in counties like Plymouth, Bristol, Worcester, and Hampden. Trump’s support was resolute in towns like Acushnet, where he won with 72% of the vote, as well as in other municipalities where he garnered significant percentages.
Comparing the 2024 results to those of 2020, it was clear that Trump’s support remained consistent geographically, with larger margins of victory this year in towns he won previously. Additionally, some communities that narrowly voted for President Biden in 2020, such as Athol, Rutland, and Webster, flipped to Trump in this election.
Overall, most counties in Massachusetts showed increased Republican support in 2024 compared to 2020. Norfolk, Middlesex, Essex, and Worcester counties, among others, all saw a rise in support for Trump. This shift indicates a resurgence of Trump’s popularity in certain areas of the state.
The results suggest a mixed outcome for Massachusetts, showcasing both Harris’s victory and Trump’s enduring support in various regions. The election highlights the diverse political landscape within the state, with voters expressing a range of preferences and opinions.
