The reliably Democrat county voted for President-elect Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, 95,620 votes to 89,086 votes, 50% to 46.6%. It was the first time Passaic County had voted a Republican for president since 1992 and the first time a Republican got 50% of the vote since George H.W. Bush in 1988.
In 2020, President Joe Biden defeated Trump, 129,097 votes to 92,009 votes, 57.55% to 41.02%.
The shift in Passaic County was part of a shift toward Trump statewide. While Harris defeated Trump by 5 points in the Garden State, Biden won by almost 16 points in 2020. A Republican has not won statewide since Bush in 1988.
