Trump won Arkansas, but not everywhere and by narrow margins in some counties

The majority of Arkansas voters elected former President Donald Trump to a second term on Tuesday, but seven of the state’s 75 counties supported Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid and others were a close call.

The complete but unofficial results of the 2024 general election mark the third time Arkansas voters have favored Trump for president. According to the Secretary of State’s office, voters this year went 64%-33% for Trump. That’s a similar ratio to Trump’s state victories in 2016 and 2020.

In interviews with voters from Arkansas’ north, central and Delta regions, Advocate reporters found that the presidential election was a driving force to get people to the polls this year. Voters referenced immigration, reproductive rights and the economy as primary concerns when casting their ballot.

Trump won the support of Arkansas voters by more than 50 percentage points in 40 counties, with Scott County on the western border reporting the highest vote difference of 73 percentage points.
