Former President Donald Trump won Missouri’s 10 electoral votes for the third straight election on Tuesday, easily defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Associated Press called the race at 8:50 p.m., with Trump leading Harris 51% to 47% with only 30% of precincts reporting.
In 2020, Trump won Missouri by 16 percentage points over Joe Biden. Four years earlier, he won by nearly 20 percentage points over Hillary Clinton.
Missouri’s status as a bellwether state ended in 2008, when voters narrowly rejected Democrat Barack Obama in favor of Republican John McCain. Democrats managed to win nearly every statewide office in 2012, but at the same time Republican Mitt Romney carried Missouri by nearly 10 percentage points and Republicans built a super majority in the state legislature.
Since then, the state has continued to steadily trend toward the Republicans, with every statewide office in GOP hands.

RIP American Democracy 1776-2024. Next to Nazi Germany, the greatest travesty in human history is now being written. Sickening, Lord helps us and forgive us for our ignorance and hate-filled hearts.
The great experiment is now finished. It concludes after 248 years in which our country has experienced incredible acts of collective courage and an ability to surviving in a manner that focused on the common good. We now step in to an era of discrimination, division, egocentricity, and fundamental disregard for institutions and basic human rights. What the hell has happened to us? I fear greatly for our children and their future. We just hired the most egregiously flawed and morally bankrupt individual to represent the free world. It's over but I choose to resist.
Thank you voters for ending the tyranny we have endured over the last four years. We have watched prosecutions of some while others run rampant, maybe now it will be justice for all. Democracy has once again been restored.
There are other sources to get information besides CNN and MSNBC. For the sake of your mental health, you should turn off the propaganda machine and touch some grass.
Every American won last night, I’m sorry your so short sighted and can’t see it.
Trump trump trump!
