President Donald Trump has claimed victory in the South Dakota contest, securing the state’s three Electoral College votes, according to NBC News projections. Trump’s win in South Dakota in the 2020 election saw him capture 62% of the vote, while his opponent, Joe Biden, received 36%. This victory echoes Trump’s success in the state in 2016, when he also won with 62% of the vote against Hillary Clinton’s 32%.
South Dakota has been historically red, with the last Democratic candidate to win the state being Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Trump’s consistent victories in the state highlight the deep-rooted support for the Republican party in South Dakota.
This latest win adds to Trump’s successful performance in the 2020 election, where he has garnered widespread support in many key battleground states. His campaign focused on issues such as the economy, immigration, and national security, resonating with voters in South Dakota and across the country.
Despite challenges and controversies during his presidency, Trump’s ability to connect with voters on key issues has solidified his support and led to victories in states like South Dakota. As the final votes are tallied and the Electoral College votes are finalized, Trump’s win in South Dakota adds to his overall lead in the election, securing him another term in office as President of the United States.
