Vice President Kamala Harris won Maryland and its 10 electoral votes on Tuesday.

Maryland is a heavily Democratic state that is home to many federal workers next to the nation’s capital. The state has a Black population of about 30%, the largest percentage of any state outside the Deep South.

Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1 in the state. Former President Donald Trump is deeply unpopular in Maryland. In 2020, Trump received just 32% of the vote.

A Republican has not won a presidential election in the state since George H.W. Bush in 1988.

The Associated Press declared Harris the winner at 8:00 p.m. EST.
