The 2024 United States presidential election in New York was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. New York voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of New York had 28 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state lost a seat.
Prior to the election, New York was considered to be a state Harris would win or a safe blue state. Although it remained comfortably Democratic, New York was the state that had the biggest Republican swing out of any state in the nation in the 2024 election, with Trump greatly improving his performance by winning 43.31% of the state's vote, compared to 36.75% in the 2016 election and 37.74% in 2020. New York followed a trend of blue states, such as Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois and California voting more Republican than in 2020.
Harris had the smallest Democratic margin in New York City (NYC) of any Democratic nominee since 1988, with Trump becoming the first Republican to win at least 30% of the vote in NYC since 1988. Turnout in New York state was also down by approximately 7.5% compared to 2020, which likely contributed to reduced Democratic margins in many parts of the state. The Bronx and Queens swung toward Trump by more than 20 percentage points from 2020; these were among the largest county swings toward Trump outside of South Texas and Imperial County, California. Nonetheless, Harris still won the state by a decisive margin of 12.6 percentage points.
Polling had indicated a potentially closer race in New York in 2024 than in 2016 or 2020, but Democrats still consistently led by margins well outside the margin of error. Nonetheless, Trump's performance in New York was the strongest of any Republican presidential candidate since Vice President George H. W. Bush lost by just 4.1 points in the 1988 election, having decreased the Democratic margin of victory by 10.57 percentage points compared to 2020.

General election Only two candidates appeared on the ballot in New York: Kamala Harris (under the Democratic and Working Families Party tickets) and Donald Trump (under the Republican and New York Conservative Party tickets). Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not appear on the ballot in New York after Judge Christina Ryba of the 3rd New York Judicial District ruled that he falsely listed his place of residence as Katonah, New York but actually lived in Los Angeles.
