About 2016 United States presidential election in Indiana in brief
The 2016 United States presidential election in Indiana was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Republican nominee Donald Trump carried the state by 19 points over Democrat Hillary Clinton, thus gaining all of Indiana’s 11 electoral votes. Trump won the state with 56. 47% of the vote, while Clinton received 37. 46%. Indiana has historically been the most conservative state in the Rust Belt. It went Democratic for Barack Obama in 2008, the first time it had done so since 1964, and only the fourth time since 1912.
However, it has shifted back to being solidly Republican. Donald Trump’s victory in the Hoosier State can be attributed to several factors, including his choice of Indiana governor Mike Pence as his running mate. Trump also won in Vigo County, home to Terre Haute and a noted bellwether; it has voted for the winner of every presidential election all but twice since 1892.
