Mississippi’s Nov. 5, 2024, general election ballot will feature nine presidential candidates and their running mates. They are:
- Kamala Harris / Tim Walz (D)
- Donald Trump / J.D. Vance (R)
- Randall Terry / Stephen E. Broden (Constitution Party)
- Jill Stein / Butch Ware (G)
- Chase Oliver / Mike ter Maat (L)
- Shiva Ayyadurai / Crystal Ellis (Independent)
- Claudia De La Cruz / Karina Garcia (Independent)
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. / Nicole Shanahan (Independent)
- Peter Sonski / Lauren Onak (Independent)
Claudia De La Cruz is the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s presidential nominee, and Peter Sonski is the American Solidarity Party’s presidential nominee, but both will appear on Mississippi’s ballot as independents. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdrew from the presidential election in August, but will still appear on Mississippi’s ballot.
This is the same number of candidates on Mississippi’s presidential ballot compared to 2020. In 2020, Mississippi’s ballot had nine candidates: Joe Biden (D), Trump, Jo Jorgensen (L), Ye (Independent), and five other minor party candidates. Trump won Mississippi that year with 57.6% of the vote, followed by Biden with 41.1%, Jorgensen with 0.6%, and Ye with 0.3%. No other candidate received more than 0.1% of the vote.
As of Oct. 25, The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rated the state as solid Republican. Mississippi was carried by the Republican presidential nominee in every election between 1980 and 2020.
Mississippi has six electoral votes, tied with five other states for the 30th most electoral votes. Mississippi neither gained nor lost electoral votes following the 2020 census.
Mississippi’s general election ballot will also feature elections for the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, the Mississippi State Supreme Court, and several Mississippi intermediate appellate courts, among others.
