The 2016 United States presidential election in Idaho was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Idaho 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 March 8, 2016, voters expressed their preferences for the Republican and Constitution parties nominee for president. The Democratic Party held a caucus on March 26. Registered members of the party only voted in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated chose any one primary in which to vote.
Donald Trump won the election in Idaho with 59.25% of the vote. Hillary Clinton received 27.48% of the vote.
McMullin's carrying 6.75% of the popular vote made Idaho his second strongest state in the 2016 election only after neighboring Utah.[2]
