New Canaan 2020 Presidential Election Results: Trump Vote Grew

NEW CANAAN, CT — President Donald Trump lost Connecticut in both the 2016 and 2020 general elections, and we're taking a look at how his vote total changed between the two elections.

On Tuesday night it was another big night for Democrats across Connecticut as they increased their majority in the General Assembly and swept all five congressional races.

So how did Trump's support in New Canaan compare with his vote totals in 2016, when he was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

According to the Secretary of State's Office, Trump earned 4,625 votes in 2020 and in 2016 he secured 4,541 votes in New Canaan. In 2020, Joe Biden received 6,828 votes, and in 2016 Hillary Clinton received 5,767 votes in New Canaan.

Trump's vote totals were up slightly from 2016 to 2020, but Biden secured nearly 1,100 more votes than Clinton did in New Canaan.

For the entire state of Connecticut, Biden received 974,279 votes compared to Trump's 682,562 in 2020. In 2016, Clinton received 897,572 votes and Trump received 673,215 votes.

Tuesday's vote climaxed a heated battle for control of the White House, unfolding during a pandemic that killed nearly a quarter of a million Americans before Election Day.
