Trumbull Presidential Election Results: Trump Vote Down

TRUMBULL, 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 Trumbull 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 9,565 votes in 2020 and in 2016 he secured 9,753 votes in Trumbull. In 2020, Joe Biden received 11,421 votes and in 2016 Hillary Clinton received 9,299 votes.

Trump's vote totals were very consistent from 2016 to 2020 but Biden secured about 2,100 more votes than Clinton did in Trumbull.

For the entire state of Connecticut, Biden received more than 1 million votes compared to Trump's 700,000 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.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the presidential election was still too close to call and votes were still being tallied in several battleground states.
