Harris carried Oregon by 14.3% as of November 21, 2024.
Democrats have won Oregon in every presidential election starting in 1988, and have consistently done so by double digits starting in 2008. A blue state, although not as strongly as neighboring California and Washington, Oregon is part of the Democratic-leaning West Coast, and was predicted to go comfortably for Democrat Kamala Harris (from neighboring California) in 2024.[2]

Minor Parties
editMinor Parties in Oregon nominate by nominating delegates to their national conventions, or for the We the People and Independent parties, holding a nominating convention. They are allowed to self-finance a primary, but no party chose to do so. The following candidates' nominations were accepted by the Oregon Secretary of State:
| Party | Candidate |
|---|---|
| Libertarian | Chase Oliver |
| We The People | Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. |
| Progressive Party | Cornel West |
| Pacific Green | Jill Stein |
| Constitution Party | Randall Terry |
The Republican Party issued a legal challenge to Libertarian party ballot access that was rejected by the Secretary of State.[5]
General election
editOregon is considered solidly Democratic, and Donald Trump did not pay the $3,500 required for a candidate statement in the ballot handbook, although candidate statements were provided by the Democratic, We the People, Libertarian, and Pacific Green candidates.[6] Notably, Oregon's third-largest party, the Independent Party of Oregon, did not nominate a candidate, although it had cross-nominated Joe Biden in 2020.[7]
In the early hours of October 28, an incendiary device was placed in a ballot drop box in Portland. A total of 3 ballots were damaged, while the rest were unharmed due to the ballot box's fire suppression system.[8]
