The 2024 United States presidential straw poll in Guam will take place on November 5, 2024. Guam is a territory and not a state, making it ineligible to elect members of the Electoral College like other states. Instead, Guam conducts a non-binding presidential straw poll during the general election.[1]
In the 2024 presidential election, incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden initially ran for re-election and became the party's presumptive nominee.[2] However, he withdrew from the race on July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who launched her presidential campaign the same day.[3] The Republican nominee is former president Donald Trump.[4]
Background
[edit]Guam has held a straw poll coinciding with every presidential election since 1980 to gauge residents' preferences and raise awareness regarding the territory's lack of federal representation.[5]
In the 2020 presidential straw poll, Biden had defeated then-incumbent President Donald Trump with 55.38% of the popular vote.[6]
