|---|---|---|---|
| MT-02 | R +77.8 | R +75.7 | R +2.1 |
Margins compare the Democrat and the Republican only. The 2024 column is the presidential margin in the same places as each race's votes here. Shift is this year's margin minus it, shown once at least 90% of the expected vote is counted. A dash means there's no 2024 figure for those exact places.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Kamala Harris | 11.9% | Donald Trump | 86.0% | R +74.1 |
