Washington: Kamala Harris won California on Tuesday, giving her the largest prize in the presidential election – 54 electoral votes.
The outcome in the heavily Democratic state where Harris previously served as a U.S. senator and attorney general was expected.
A Republican candidate hasn’t won a presidential contest in the nation’s most populous state since 1988, and the GOP hasn’t seriously contested California in a presidential election since 2000. Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in California by about 2-to-1, and the party holds every statewide office and dominates the Legislature and congressional delegation.
The Associated Press declared Harris the winner at 11:00 p.m. EST.
Harris Wins Washington
Vice President Kamala Harris won Washington’s 12 electoral votes on Tuesday, besting former President Donald Trump in a state where he is not popular.
Washington has not gone for a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan in 1984. President Joe Biden carried Washington in 2020 with 58 per cent of the vote to Trump’s less than 39 per cent. The Associated Press declared Harris the winner at 11:00 pm EST.
