Trump wins Oklahoma

Former President Trump easily won Oklahoma on Tuesday, The Hill/Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) projects.

The victory nets the former president seven more Electoral College votes.

Trump won the state in 2020 with nearly double the votes of President Biden — roughly 65 percent to 32 percent. In 2016, he edged out former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) by an even wider margin.

Oklahoma, a Republican stronghold, has not supported a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964. A GOP candidate has also won almost every county in the state since former President George W. Bush won in 2004.

During the primary race, the former president defeated his only remaining challenger at the time, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, garnering all 43 delegates up for grabs. Haley later suspended her campaign and said she would support the GOP nominee.

Polling showed Trump with a double-digit lead over Vice President Harris in the Sooner State ahead of Election Day. The Hill/DDHQ's aggregate of polls over the weekend found Harris trailing the former president by more than 38 percentage points.
