Although Vice President Kamala Harris took the state of Illinois in the 2024 election, former President Donald Trump wasn't far behind.

In fact, Trump's performance in Illinois in the 2024 election Tuesday was one of the GOP's best in decades.

Typically, Democrats win the state by at least 10 percent. In the 2024 election though, Harris won by only around 4 percent.

Harris continued the trend of Democratic candidates performing exceptionally well in Cook County while also winning multiple suburban counties, though Trump improved his margins in all parts of the Chicago area.

Hereā€™s a breakdown of the last 9 elections in Illinois:

2020: Biden +17% (1,025,024 votes)

2016: Clinton +16.88% (944,714 votes)

2012: Obama +16.87% (884,296 votes)
