More than 40% of Californians voted for Trump, state 'not as liberal as Newsom' thinks, says expert
Fox News
Over 40% of Californians voted for Trump, marking his highest GOP support in the state since 2004, despite conservative emigration and strong Democratic leanings.
Though Trump lost California to Vice President Kamala Harris, his electoral showing in the Golden State increased significantly; he got 31% of the vote in 2016 and 34% in 2020. Even with something of a conservative exodus driving many residents to red states like Florida and Texas, Trump increased his percentage of the state vote by six points.
