Press Release: Vermont Prepares for High-Stakes Presidential Election
Vermont is gearing up for a pivotal moment in the U.S. political landscape as voters prepare to cast their ballots on November 5, 2024. With the election clock ticking down, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican contender Donald Trump are engaged in a frenzied final campaign push. The candidates are neck-and-neck in several battleground states, including Vermont, which boasts three key electoral votes.
Harris is leaning heavily on support from Black voters and working to maintain her appeal with Latinos, recalling President Joe Biden’s success in securing 92% of Black votes and 59% of Latino support in the 2020 election. She is particularly vocal on issues surrounding abortion and reproductive rights, emphasizing that a Trump presidency could jeopardize these key issues nationally.
Vermont, nestled in New England and known for its picturesque landscapes and seasonal foliage, has shifted from a Republican stronghold to a predominantly Democratic state since the early 1990s. Notably, it has favored Democratic candidates in every presidential election since 1992, with Biden triumphing by a remarkable 35.4-point margin in 2020.
On Election Day, Vermonters will not only vote for the presidency but will also choose a senator. Incumbent Bernie Sanders, an Independent aligned with the Democratic Party, is seeking re-election after winning 67% of the vote in 2018. Additionally, all 150 seats in the Vermont House of Representatives are up for grabs.
As the state prepares to weigh its options, the results of this highly anticipated election could significantly impact the partisan balance in Congress. Voter turnout and engagement will be critical as Vermont navigates its role in the national narrative unfolding on Election Day.
Stay tuned for updates on the election results as they come in.
