The 2016 United States presidential election in New York was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. New York voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.
Hillary Clinton carried New York with 58.8% of the vote.[1] Donald Trump received 37.5% of the vote.
Although New York State remained a solid blue state, Democrat Hillary Clinton received fewer votes than President Obama in 2012, and Donald Trump received more votes in Upstate New York. Trump won 21 counties in New York State that voted for President Obama in 2012.[2] Significantly, outside New York City, Trump would've won, with 2,179,396, or 49.2% of the vote, to Clinton's 2,173,954 or 49.1% of the vote.
This presidential election marked the first time since 1944 when both party's presidential candidates had New York as their home state. In fact, it is also the first time since 1944 when both major party candidates even shared a home state.
Primary Elections
On April 19, 2016, in the presidential primaries, New York voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic and Republican parties' respective nominees for President. Registered members of each party only voted in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated with either party didn't vote in the primary.[3]
Democratic primary
Two candidates appeared on the Democratic presidential primary ballot:[4]
Similarly to the general election, both candidates in the Democratic primary had a connection to New York, as New York was Clinton's adopted home state, and the birthplace of Sanders.
