Ohio

Ohio was the first state admitted under the Northwest Ordinance, entering the Union in March, 1803. It participated in its first presidential election in 1804. The state voted exclusively Republican from 1856 through 1908, and it has returned to those roots in recent elections. Donald Trump won by 11% over Kamala Harris in 2024.

Between those eras, the state alternated between blue and red, with The Buckeye State proving to be a remarkably good presidential bellwether. From 1912 through 2012, Ohioans sided with the winner in every election except 1944 and 1960. Like many other rust belt states, Ohio has seen its elecoral clout decline; the state has gone from 26 electoral votes in the 1960s to 17 today.
