The upcoming Presidential election in South Carolina is scheduled for November 5, 2024. The Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris from California, will be facing off against the Republican nominee, Donald Trump from Florida. South Carolina holds 9 electoral votes in this election, and with incumbent President Joe Biden not seeking re-election, the race is set to be contested between Harris and Trump.
In South Carolina, the demographic breakdown shows that the population consists of 65% Non-Hispanic White, 26% Black, 7% Hispanic, and 2% Asian residents. Native Americans make up 0% of the population in the state. These demographic percentages highlight the racial composition of the state as the election approaches.
In the previous two Presidential elections, South Carolina voted for Donald Trump, with margins of 11.7% in 2020 and 14.2% in 2016. Given these historical results and the current demographic makeup of the state, South Carolina is considered a non-competitive state in the upcoming election, with a strong likelihood of the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, securing victory once again.
