Vice President Kamala Harris has just added the states of Washington D.C., California, Colorado and District of Columbia to her numbers.
The Democrats candidate also won 1st Congressional District in Maine and one electoral vote, CONVERSEER reports.
According to AP, so far, Harris has won 179 states, trailing behind Republican Donald Trump who has won 214 states. Note that results are still being counted in other states.
Here is State by State analysis:
Washington D.C.
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% of the vote to Trump’s less than 39%. The Associated Press declared Harris the winner at 11:00 p.m. EST.
California
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.
Colorado
Kamala Harris won Colorado on Tuesday, picking up the state’s 10 electoral votes. Colorado was once a purple state, flipping between Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, but it has shifted blue in the past two decades.
The last Republican presidential candidate to snag Colorado’s electoral votes was George W. Bush in 2004. Since then, it’s backed Democratic presidential candidates, with Joe Biden winning it handily in 2020. Colorado gained its 10th electoral vote after the 2020 census, attributed to population growth around Denver. The Associated Press declared Harris the winner at 10:08 p.m. EST.
District of Columbia
Vice President Kamala Harris won the District of Columbia on Tuesday, securing the capital’s three electoral votes. Harris’ win in D.C. is no surprise – the District is a longtime Democratic stronghold whose government repeatedly feuded with Republican Donald Trump when he was the president.
Trump has described modern-day Washington as a crime-ridden dystopia, and Republican allies in Congress have threatened to strip D.C. of its limited autonomy. The Associated Press declared Harris the winner at 10:20 p.m. EST.
1st Congressional District in Maine
Voters in Maine’s 1st Congressional District, which is comprised of wealthy coastal communities, delivered an electoral vote to Democrat Kamala Harris on Tuesday. Maine is one of two states that divide electoral votes with two votes going to the statewide winner and one apiece to the winner of each congressional district.
Harris won the vote in the state’s more liberal district. The rural, conservative 2nd District voted for Republican Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. The Associated Press declared Harris the winner of Maine’s 1st District at 10:45 p.m. EST.
