Colorado has cast its vote for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the presidential race, according to the Associated Press. The state’s 10 electoral votes have been projected to go to the Democratic vice president.
At 8:09 p.m., when AP made its call, Harris was leading in Colorado with approximately 56% of the vote, while Trump had 42%. The remaining votes were divided among several third-party and unaffiliated candidates.
Colorado voters have consistently rejected Donald Trump in the past three presidential elections. In 2016, they voted for Hillary Clinton, who ultimately lost the election. In 2020, they supported Joe Biden, who won by a significant margin of 13.5%. The last Republican candidate to secure Colorado’s electoral votes was George W. Bush back in 2004.
In recent cycles, Colorado has been consistently considered as a blue state. Consequently, the campaigns of the major candidates have primarily utilized the state to host fundraisers.
During his visit last month, Trump capitalized on Aurora’s struggles with Venezuelan gangs in a few apartment complexes to advocate for his mass deportation plans and the eradication of immigrant gangs in American cities. However, his exaggerated rhetoric faced resistance from various local officials, including the city’s mayor.
