The 2016 United States presidential election in the District of Columbia was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. D.C. voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.
On March 12 and June 14, 2016, voters chose delegates to the Republican and Democratic National Conventions respectively.
Clinton won the election with 282,830 votes or 90.5%, the third strongest win for a Democrat after Barack Obama's victories in 2008 and 2012. Donald Trump received 12,723 votes or 4.1% of the vote, which is the lowest share of the popular vote received by any Republican candidate since voters in the District of Columbia were granted the right to vote in presidential elections. As a result of this, Hillary Clinton received the widest margin of victory, 86.4%, of any winning presidential candidate, breaking the record of 86% set by Barack Obama in 2008. The District of Columbia has voted for the Democratic ticket in every election since 1964, which was the first election in which D.C. voters were allowed to participate.
