Trump converts voters in deep-blue California – was it all about the economy?

President-elect took eight counties that went for Biden, and economic discontent appears to have been a key driver

Donald Trump on 5 November expanded his coalition across the United States, and he did so even in deep-blue California.

While Kamala Harris unsurprisingly beat out Trump in the Golden State – receiving about 60% of the vote – the former president nonetheless pulled off a victory, winning eight counties that supported Joe Biden in 2020.
