North Dakota

North Dakota is part of the Upper Midwest region of the United States, and it and South Dakota were simultaneously admitted to the Union as the 39th and 40th states in November 1889.

North Dakota has actively participated in all US presidential elections since it became a state. It has predominantly chosen Republican candidates, supporting the Grand Old Party (GOP) in 27 out of 33 elections. Since 1968, the state has consistently backed Republican candidates.

The few times Democratic candidates received support in North Dakota, they typically won by large margins. The state has long been a reliable stronghold for the Republican Party in presidential elections.

In the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden by a significant margin, receiving 65% of the vote compared to Biden’s 32%. North Dakota's population has remained relatively stable at around 673,000, which provides it with a minimum of three electoral votes.
