Experts weigh in after several California counties turn red in election

A closer look at the election maps for the Golden State show that Trump appeared to flip multiple counties in 2024 that Joe Biden had carried for Democrats in the 2020 election.

She is right. I am a democrat but voted for Republican on all the candidates on the ballot. Democratic Party only focus the low income and left the middle class behind.

I live in San Francisco and voted for President Trump and red up and down the ballot. My entire family and neighbors voted RED. This is a wake up call for all Democratic leaders in California. Voters elected you, we can VOTE YOU OUT!
Issues voters care about:
1) economy
2) crime—Prop 36 passed!
3) immigration
4) common sense in schools and communities—stop indoctrinating our kids, schools are for learning not a political arena
5) homelessness
6) no more wars—we want peace, spend billions in our communities not abroad
Congratulations to President Trump and VP Vance. Make California Affordable, Safe, Clean, and Sensible Again!

What do you expect when you have flushed America down the toilet....I'm a Democrat voted for Trump. The people of America were tired of this

[Misunderstood_KV]

MAGA has to campaign a lot in California these next 4 years ! I need these gun laws looser. Legal gun owners have no fun out here

To all my fellow Californians, please vote RED regardless of your ethnicity, gender, creed, immigration status, or age. We’ve been a BLUE STATE for decades and our elected representatives have done nothing to improve our lives. High cost of living, high taxes, high crime, high homelessness, high rents, high utilities, high gas prices, high food prices…the list goes on and on. We cannot vote the same way and expect change. Please vote RED. Together we can turn our beautiful state around. Do not believe the fear mongering that the media or elected officials spread.

Take California back, vote all Republican

[renisans]

Depending on how Trump does next two years, CA could go red. Unthinkable before, but very possible now

[soulseeker]

Because the democratic party hasnt done anything for california.

[qtrhors]

No ID required to vote... thats all you need to know.

[JesusOrtiz-qpso]

I live in San Francisco Bay Area and I voted for trump

[endefisto]

Sooner or later it will flip. It is a natural progression of things.

Our home voted for Republican even though we have been faithful democrat + independent household. It's so true that the dems have left us and they don't mind leaving us behind.

20 years of the States preoccupation on the Tech industry, unregulated real estate markets, 20 years of narcotics trafficking on the streets and the health and humanitarian crisis of allowing sick and mentally ill people to live like animals on the streets. I've never seen the willful disrespect towards the suffering of people like I have seen in California over the last two decades. A very sick society and a dysfunctional government

I live in California, and my family, friends and I all voted for Trump and Republican across the board. My vote may not contribute toward electoral votes but it did count toward popular votes. I was optimistic that President Trump will win because he does the walk and not the talk like Karmala who is clueless how to help America. Trump already swing into actions to help workers in Michigan and NC before he became president. He’s about the people and he’s tired of how we are treated by Biden and Karmala administration so he worked non-stop and tirelessness to all the swing state to gain their trust and vote & he became successful while Karmala uses the power of celebrities and rely on them heavily to help her bribe votes which back fire on her. She’s expect to win office and do nada.

Woo-hoo! Keep it up California! Americans have spoken. We're tired of your lies & deceit.

[danfurtado]

Stanislaus county had a crazy turnout. It took an an hour and a half to vote at 10am. Proud

[Doctor_Martain]

As a Floridian, I am currently traveling for work in California. I can say that I've come across large numbers of Californians who are conservatives and want changes in their state. California is a beautiful place, but the mismanagement is ruining it for sure.

[horusheresy]

So it took this long to have America's common sense kick in.

[MariaGonzalez-lefx]

We the people need to clean house in California now! This is a great state, being ran into the ground by idiots. Our insurance commissioners doesn’t know what he’s doing, everything Gavin Newsom does is destroying the state. I hope the people wake up soon.
