The 2024 United States presidential election in Florida is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Florida voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Florida has 30 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state gained a seat.[1] Although once considered a swing and bellwether state, the Sunshine State has taken a large rightward turn in recent years, with Donald Trump carrying the state in the 2020 presidential election by 3.36 percentage points despite losing nationwide, and Republicans winning all statewide offices in large, double-digit margins in the 2022 midterms.[2]
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for re-election to a second term.[3]
Primary elections
Republican primary
The Florida Republican primary is scheduled to be held on March 19, 2024, alongside primaries in Arizona, Illinois, and Ohio.
Democratic primary
On November 30, 2023, Politico reported that the Florida Democratic Party had only submitted Biden's name to the Secretary of State, which means that the primary will be cancelled under Florida law.
This cancellation was criticized by the Dean Phillips[4] and Marianne Williamson campaigns.[5] Williamson and fellow Democratic candidate Cenk Uygur held a press conference over Zoom on December 1 criticizing the move.[6] On December 11, 2023, a voter filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to add Phillips, Williamson, and Cenk Uygur's name to the ballot.[7] The voter lost in district court but is expected to appeal.[8]
