2024 Montana gubernatorial election
The 2024 Montana gubernatorial election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the governor of the U.S. state of Montana, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections. Primary elections took place on June 4, 2024.Though Montana has backed the GOP in every presidential election since 1996, the sparsely-populated Mountain state maintained a Democratic tendency at the state and U.S. Senate levels well through the 2010s. In 2020, Republican Greg Gianforte defeated Democrat Mike Cooney by 12.8%, flipping two of Montana's last three Democrat-held statewide offices (governor and lieutenant governor) into the GOP camp; currently, the only one occupied by a Democrat is Jon Tester's U.S. Senate seat, which most analysts predict to narrowly flip Republican in a concurrent race. Governor Gianforte is widely expected to comfortably win re-election in 2024.
