No Republican has won Colorado by double digits at the presidential level since Ronald Reagan in his 1984 landslide re-election victory. Colorado was consistently competitive at the presidential level from the late 1980s going through the 2010s, including Hillary Clinton narrowly winning the state by 4.9% in 2016. In 2020, Democrat Joe Biden carried the state and became the first presidential candidate to win Colorado by a double-digit margin since Reagan. The last Republican to win the Centennial State’s electoral votes was George W. Bush in his 2004 re-election victory. Today, Colorado is a slightly-to-moderately blue state,[2] with Democrats winning the state in every presidential election starting in 2008, and occupying every statewide office since 2023.
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for re-election to a second term.[3]
