2040 United States presidential election in South Carolina



The 2040 United States presidential election in South Carolina was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2040, as part of the 2040 United States presidential election. The Democratic ticket of former Secretary of State Stacey Abrams and U.S. Senator from New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won the state with a 48.90% plurality of the vote and a narrow 0.32% margin of victory. This was the first time the state had voted Democratic in a presidential race since 1976, when fellow Georgian Jimmy Carter won the state.

Abrams' win in the state was powered by strong Democratic turnout in urban and suburban areas, as well as from rural majority-Black areas. Abrams won a majority of counties in the state, also a first for a Democrat since 1976. The state's 16.57% shift towards the Democratic Party compared to 2036 was the sixth strongest in the country.
