The United States is set to hold its presidential election on November 5, 2024. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are the top contenders vying for the country's highest office. The election will see millions of eligible voters across 50 states, including South Carolina, casting their ballots to elect the next president.
South Carolina has a population of 5,118,425 and a total of 3,432,228 people eligible to vote as of October 4, 2024. Historically, the state is a Republican stronghold, but Trump's victory in the state four years ago was significant, with a margin of about 22 percentage points.
The election will also see voters electing seven candidates to serve in the U.S. House from each of the state's seven congressional districts. The Democratic nominees for the House are Michael B. Moore (Congressional district 1), David Robinson II (Congressional district 2), Bryon Best (Congressional district 3), Kathryn Harvey (Congressional district 4), Evangeline Hundley (Congressional district 5), James Clyburn (Congressional district 6), and Mal Hyman (Congressional district 7).
