In the 2024 presidential election, Republican candidates Donald Trump and JD Vance received about 67% of the vote in North Dakota, not 76%.

Official results from the North Dakota Secretary of State show the Republican ticket received 246,505 votes, or 66.96% statewide. Democratic candidates Kamala Harris and Tim Walz received about 31%.

North Dakota has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1968. The last Democratic presidential candidate to win the state was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.

Trump carried most North Dakota counties in 2024, though Democratic candidate Kamala Harris won Sioux and Rolette counties. 

About 368,000 votes were cast statewide in the 2024 presidential election.
