Apresidential election was held inIndiana on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of the2020 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus theDistrict of Columbia participated.[3]Indiana voters chose electors to represent them in theElectoral College via a popular vote, pitting theRepublican Party's nominee, incumbent PresidentDonald Trump, and running mateVice PresidentMike Pence againstDemocratic Party nominee, former vice presidentJoe Biden, and his running mate California senatorKamala Harris. Indiana has 11 electoral votes in the Electoral College.[4]
Indiana was the home state of Pence, who served asGovernor of Indiana from 2013 to 2017. Pence retained a 59% approval among voters in his home state.[5] On the day of the election, most news organizations considered Indiana a state Trump would win, or a likelyred state. Trump won Indiana by 57% to Biden's 41%, a slight increase in his vote share from2016, but a reduction in his margin of victory.
This election marked the first time since1952 and only the third time since1888 thatVigo County, home toTerre Haute and a significantbellwether county, voted for the losing candidate in a presidential election. Biden subsequently became the first presidential nominee of either party sinceDwight D. Eisenhower in1952, and the first Democrat sinceGrover Cleveland in1884 to win the presidency without carrying Vigo County.[6]
Biden flippedTippecanoe County,[7] home toLafayette andPurdue University, from Republican to Democratic, marking the first time since1936 that the county voted against Indiana's statewide winner. Biden also became the first Democrat sinceFDR in1944 to win without carrying traditionally DemocraticPerry County in Southern Indiana. Biden was also the first Democrat to win without LaPorte County since 1976.
The primary elections were held on June 2, 2020.
Donald Trump won the Republican primary, and received all of the state's 58 delegates to the2020 Republican National Convention.[8]
