A sparsely populated Mountain West state, Wyoming is considered to be a deeply red state, and Donald Trump was expected to easily win the state. Alongside neighboring Idaho, Utah, South Dakota, and Nebraska, Wyoming had voted Republican in each presidential race starting in 1968 and all but one starting in 1952. Wyoming had furthermore been Trump's second-strongest state in 2016 and strongest state in 2020 (trading places with West Virginia), voting for Trump by more than a 40% margin in both elections.
On election day, Wyoming was once again Trump's strongest state. Trump's 71.60% vote share in the state was the highest a presidential nominee has ever received in Wyoming, surpassing Ronald Reagan's 70.51% of the vote in the 1984 presidential election; and was the first time that any nominee won over 70% of the vote in any state since 2012 (when Barack Obama did so in Hawaii and Mitt Romney, in Utah).
