The 2024 United States presidential election in Ohio is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Ohio voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Ohio has 17 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state lost a seat. While Ohio was considered a crucial swing and bellwether state for decades, it voted significantly more Republican than the nation in both 2016 and 2020 and probably won't be as contested by the Democrats as Donald Trump won the state by a comfortable margin while losing nationally in the latter election.
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden has stated that he intends to run for reelection to a second term. If he wins without the state again, he will become the first president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944 to win another term without carrying the state.
