2040 United States presidential election in Hawaii



The 2040 United States presidential election in Hawaii 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 69.99% of the vote and a 42.58% margin of victory, making it the fourth strongest state for the Democrats in 2040 after New Columbia, Maryland and Massachusetts.

Analysis
Hawaii, which had been a Democratic stronghold throughout the 21st century, gave 70% of the vote to Democrat Stacey Abrams in this election, which was the strongest performance for the party in a presidential election in the state since 2012, when Barack Obama, who was born in Hawaii, was on the presidential ballot. Hawaii was never considered competitive in the campaign (FiveThirtyEight's polling average in October 2039 showed a Democratic lead of 21%,) but the projected margin doubled after the Gary Braun pharmaceutical bribes scandal broke in November; nationally, this sent president Braun from being favored for re-election according to most analysts to losing in a landslide.
