The 2016 United States presidential election in Delaware was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Delaware 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 .
On April 26, 2016, in the presidential primaries , Delaware voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic , Republican , and Libertarian parties' respective nominees for president (Green on April 2). Registered members of each party only voted in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated chose any one primary in which to vote.
Hillary Clinton won the election in Delaware with 53.4% of the vote. Donald Trump, who went on to win the presidency, received 41.9% of the vote.[1] Although Democrats had once again carried Delaware's three electoral votes, the state swung 7.19% Republican from the 2012 election, and Kent County flipped from Democratic to Republican. This was the first time since 1968 that Delaware did not vote for the same candidate as neighboring Pennsylvania.
