President Biden won the state in a landslide, earning all 63 pledged delegates The Tennessee Republican primary was held on Super Tuesday, March 5, 2024.

[36] A fast-growing Southern state in the heart of the Bible Belt, no Democrat has won Tennessee's electoral votes since Bill Clinton of neighboring Arkansas, who shared the ticket with favorite son Al Gore, in 1996, nor has it been contested at the presidential level since 2000, when Gore narrowly lost his home state by less than 4 points.

The last Democratic presidential candidate to win at least 40% of the state vote was Barack Obama in 2008, and Republicans have occupied all statewide offices in Tennessee since 2011.

Notably, Trump improved his margins in every county and gained significant support across all demographics, performing better in suburban, rural, and urban areas.

[37] Trump was able to increase his support in the Nashville metropolitan area, particularly in the suburban counties of Williamson, Rutherford, Wilson, Sumner, and Cheatham, performing similarly to his 2016 results.

He lost Downtown Nashville, home to landmarks like Broadway and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, by only 7.8%—a significant improvement from his 24.6% loss there in 2020.

He also won in parts of southern Davidson County, including suburban areas like Forest Hills and Belle Meade.

This result continues the county’s long-standing Republican tradition, as it has not supported a Democratic presidential candidate since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940.

Despite this Republican stronghold, Kamala Harris performed notably well in Knoxville’s urban core, winning the city by an 11.4% margin.

[44] Donald Trump's victory in Knox County was largely driven by his overwhelming support in the suburban and rural areas, which offset Harris’s success in the city.
