<h2><strong>Presidential elections in California: Harris ahead</strong></h2>

<p>California was won by its native candidate Kamala Harris, with 54 Electoral College votes going her way. This is the biggest in the nation, but it could not prevent her from losing the national race to Donald Trump.</p>

<p>Long considered a strong Democratic base or 'blue state', California's electoral college has favoured Democratic presidential candidates since 1992.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the time of writing this, over 55 per cent of votes in California were counted, with Harris having 57.3 per cent, or 5.75 million. Trump got 40.1 per cent, with 4.02 mn votes.</p>

<p>In the past, California gave Democrats a majority of 10 per cent or more, except in 2004 when John Kerry won it by 9.95%.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2020, Joe Biden got 63.5 per cent of the popular vote, which was the highest vote share of any candidate since 1936.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Harris was California's state attorney general in 2011-2017 and a Senator in 2017-2021 before becoming the vice president.</p>

<p>She also has the distinction of being the first Californian to be a major party's presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan, a Republican, in 1984.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon and Reagan were&nbsp;Californians who became president.</p>
