President Donald Trump is projected to win Arkansas, per Decision Desk HQ.
Arkansas has voted Republican in all but three presidential elections since 1972, reliably serving as a mainstay of the Republican candidate's electoral vote count. Of the down-ballot races in Arkansas, only the House race in central Arkansas' 2nd District is expected to be particularly competitive. In it, GOP Rep. French Hill, a three-term incumbent, is facing off against Democrat Joyce Elliott, a longtime state legislator and former teacher.
The state's congressional delegation is firmly Republican: Every seat is currently held by a member of the GOP. Additionally, both houses of the state legislature and the gubernatorial seat are also held by Republicans. Arkansas has six electoral votes and is not believed by analysts to be competitive.
