In Los Angeles County alone, Biden had more than 2.3 million votes (72%) — and counting — compared to 889,402 (27%) for Trump. Biden held clear, but less lopsided, advantages in Orange (55%-44%), Riverside (55%-43%), San Bernardino (56%-42%) and Ventura (61%-37%) counties.
President Trump garnered support in Central and Northern California counties, raking in 33 percent of the statewide vote, meaning nearly 4 million of the state’s 22 million registered voters supported his re-election bid.
Note: The figures above are current as of Thursday with an estimated 4,152,232 votes remaining. Election results are certified in California by Dec. 11.
In 2016, Trump ended up with 4.5 million votes in California. That vote total — significant in terms of sheer numbers — gave Trump more votes in California than he had in any other state, except Texas and Florida. Opponent Hillary Clinton finished with more than 8.7 million votes in California.
