Sept. 4, 2024: In a few short months, a new US President will be elected for the next four years.
The leadup to the 2024 presidential election has been unusual, especially with the development of Joe Biden stepping down as the democratic nominee for president and Kamala Harris stepping up.
In thinking about how Bronxville might vote in 2024, we thought it would be interesting to examine how we have voted in every Presidential Election for the past century.
Here are some highlights:
1) In the past 100 years, Bronxville voted for the Democratic candidate over the Republican candidate only three times:
2020: Biden/Harris (70% of Bronxville votes cast) vs. Trump/Pence
2016: Clinton/Kaine (64% of Bronxville votes cast) vs. Trump/Pence
2008: Obama/Biden (54% of Bronxville votes cast) vs. McCain/Palin
2) Interestingly, Bronxville voters cast nearly the same number of votes for Trump/Pence in 2020 (1,117) as they did in 2016 (1,119). Voter turnout in Bronxville in 2020 was up 19% from 2016.
To examine for yourself, below is a list of all presidential elections from the past century, comparing how Bronxville voted to how the nation voted:

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
