The 2016 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Ohio 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. Ohio has 18 electoral votes in the Electoral College. Ohio was won by Trump by a margin of 8.13 points. Prior to the election, most news organizations considered the Buckeye State as leaning Republican, due to Trump's appeal to blue-collar voters in the Rust Belt. Ohio kept its streak of voting for the winner (a bellwether state) since 1964, as it voted for Trump, who won nationally. Having previously voted Democratic in 2012 and 2008, the win margin was the second largest of the states Trump flipped red, after Iowa. It also marked the largest margin of victory since George H. W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis in the state in 1988. Additionally, Trump became the first Republican to win Ohio without carrying Hamilton County since Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876. Ohio was 11.1 points more Republican in this election than it was in 2012. Trump won 80 of Ohio's 88 counties, the most since Ronald Reagan won 82 in 1984. Ohio was 10.2% more Republican than the national average in 2016, the farthest it had voted from the rest of the nation since 1932. The state had also been one of eleven to vote for Bill Clinton twice in 1992 and 1996, only to be lost by Hillary Clinton in 2016. Despite the state's hard swing to the right in this election, Hillary Clinton remains the most recent Democratic Presidential nominee as of 2020 to carry Lorain and Mahoning counties. This election would mark the end of Ohio's bellwether streak, having voted for the winning candidate in every election from 1964 to 2016, the longest bellwether streak of any state in the nation's history.
