<span class="mw-page-title-main">2020 United States presidential election in the District of Columbia</span> Election in the District of Columbia

The 2020 United States presidential election in the District of Columbia was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of the 2020 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. District of Columbia voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party's nominee, incumbent President Donald Trump, and running mate Vice President Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his running mate California Senator Kamala Harris. The District of Columbia has three electoral votes in the Electoral College. Prior to the election, Biden was virtually certain to win D.C. The nation's capital is heavily Democratic and has voted for the Democratic nominee by massive margins in every presidential election it has participated in, ever since it was first granted electors due to passage of the Twenty-third Amendment in 1961. Biden's 86.75-point margin of victory was virtually identical to that secured by Hillary Clinton in 2016. Nevertheless, the District shifted very slightly to the right compared with the previous election, making Biden the first non-incumbent Democrat since 1988 to win D.C. by a smaller margin than in the previous cycle. Along with seven states, it was one of just eight electoral-vote areas where Trump improved on his 2016 margins.
