The 2024 Missouri Republican presidential caucuses were held on March 2, 2024, as part of the Republican Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 54 delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention will be allocated on a winner-take-most basis.^[2] The contest was held alongside caucuses in Idaho and Michigan.

Former president Donald Trump defeated former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley in a landslide, winning all 924 state delegates.^[3] However, no delegates to the national convention were allocated at the caucuses and delegates will not be bound until the April "district conventions" or the May state convention.^[4]

Candidates

The following candidates were eligible for nomination at the Missouri caucuses:^[5]

• Nikki Haley
• David Stuckenberg
• Donald Trump

Background

In June 2022, Governor Mike Parson signed HB 1878, which repealed the state's presidential primary.^[6] Numerous attempts were made by the Missouri General Assembly to reinstate it, but it was not done in time. In October 2023, the Missouri Republican Party announced it would hold caucuses in 2024.^[7]

Notes

1. The number of pledged national convention delegates is calculated through the number of state delegates won, however, a candidate must get both at least 15% of the total vote to get statewide delegates and at least 15% of the vote in a congressional district to get district delegates from that district. Each precinct has a certain number of state delegates and allocates them based on how many caucus goers there are for each candidate at that precinct.
2. Delegates aren't formally bound until the state convention on May 4
3. The Missouri Republican Party has only released the state delegate results instead of the popular vote.^[1]
4. Key:
   A – all adults
   RV – registered voters
   LV – likely voters
   V – unclear
5. Josh Hawley with 7%
6. Josh Hawley with 6%; "Someone else" with 17%
7. Josh Hawley with 29%; Ivanka Trump with 13%
