California Counties Shift Political Landscape

In the recent 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris won California with 57.6% of the vote, but notable shifts occurred as 10 counties flipped from blue to red, including San Bernardino and Orange Counties, reflecting changing demographics and political sentiments. Trump garnered significant support, especially among Latino voters, and led in several closely contested Congressional races, indicating a potential realignment in California politics. Voters also participated in deciding on 10 propositions, with key measures passing, including Prop. 2 for school funding and Prop. 3, recognizing marriage rights regardless of sex or race. Prop. 4, aimed at water and wildfire prevention, was also approved, while Prop. 5 and Prop. 6 were rejected. The results underscore a complex and evolving political landscape in California as traditional Democratic strongholds show signs of vulnerability. Election results remain unofficial until certification in December 2024.
