2040 United States presidential election in Rhode Island



The 2040 United States presidential election in Delaware 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 63.79% of the vote and a 31.02% margin of victory. This was the strongest performance by any candidate in the state of Rhode Island since 1968, when nationally unsuccessful Democratic candidate Hubert Humphrey won by a slightly larger margin.

Analysis
Rhode Island voted for Democratic presidential candidate Jamie Raskin in 2036 by a comfortable 15.4% margin. Before the breaking of the Gary Braun pharmaceutical bribes scandal, the state was considered mildly competitive in the 2040 election, as was true with many traditionally Democratic strongholds. However, the scandal caused president Braun's approval rating to plummet across the country, and he went from being considered a favorite for re-election to losing in a landslide.
