Kansas presidential voting history

Kansas supported the Republican presidential candidate in each of the past three elections. In 2024, Donald Trump received 57.2% of the Kansas vote, while the Democratic candidate received 41%.

The Republican share was 56.1% in 2020 and 57% in 2016. The Democratic share was 41.5% in 2020 and 36.3% in 2016.

Trump carried Kansas by 16.1 percentage points in 2024. Presidential results provide historical context, but the 2026 ballot concerns congressional and state offices rather than the presidency.
