On Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris secured victory in Hawaii, claiming the state’s four electoral votes. This marks the tenth consecutive presidential election in which Hawaii has cast its support for the Democratic candidate. The last instance of a Republican being chosen for the presidency in the state occurred four decades ago, when Ronald Reagan won in 1984.

Hawaii is firmly established as a Democratic stronghold, with the party holding all statewide elected positions along with the two U.S. House seats representing the state. Furthermore, Democrats have maintained dominance, occupying more than 75% of the seats in both chambers of the state legislature, including the House and Senate.

The announcement of Harris’s victory was made by election officials at 12:00 a.m. EST, solidifying the state’s continuous trend of supporting Democratic presidential candidates over the years.
