Preliminary data shows President-elect Donald Trump earned more votes than many polls had projected including in the deep-blue state of California.
As of Friday, California election workers have counted more than 10 million votes and 5.4 million more ballots to process.
The NBC4 I-Team analysis revealed that – percentage wise – Trump is winning more votes than he did in 2020.
In 2024, Trump received nearly 40% of votes already counted, compared to 34% in 2020. These numbers will continue to change as the count continues.
In Riverside County, 49.6% of the ballots processed so far went toward Trump, compared to 45% in 2020.
Data from Orange County showed a similar trend with 48.9% of the votes counted so far were cast for Trump, compared to 44.4% in 2020.
Los Angeles County, largely made up of voters who identify themselves as Democrats, also show an increase in support for Trump as 33.5% of the votes as of Friday went toward Trump, compared to 26.8% four years ago.

And they may continue counting in California until Harris catches Trump in the popular vote. Seems that 5 million vote lead has now dipped under 4 million. And the votes they are counting now in California are heavily in favor of Harris.
So they’re saying Harris will win the popular vote after 2 weeks of counting in California? That’s not how it works.
That’s not what the headline implies, though.
Her in MD Ben the Baltimore Sun is reporting Trump made gains in all counties. Despite being still very much in the camp in Toto for Harris.
No ID required to vote.
Mailed ballots to everyone that was registered to vote.
Take days and weeks to 'count' the votes.
Nope. Mathematically improbable.
Best I can tell there's about 4.2 million votes in California remaining to be counted. Trump is currently leading by about 3.9 million votes in the national popular vote. Kamala would have to win about 80% of the votes remaining to be counted and she's not even coming close.
Rest assured, he will win the meaningless but brag-worthy national popular vote by about 1.5 million for the cherry on top of his landslide electoral vote and GOP house and senate trifecta.
A lot of Californians are desperate to get rid of the Gruesome Greaseball.
