Montana Presidential Forecast safe gop

Last Updated: Monday, July 1 at 4:08 PM EDT

Our model currently predicts that Donald Trump has a 99% chance of winning Montana.

Though somewhat less conservative than its neighboring states– Trump carried Montana by 16% in 2020, down from 20% in 2016– no Democratic presidential candidate has won Montana since Bill Clinton in 1992, and the state has not been closely contested since Barack Obama lost by less than 3 points in 2008. Montana is again expected to favor the Republican presidential candidate in the 2024 election.
