About 2020 United States presidential election in Iowa in brief
The 2020 United States presidential election in Iowa was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. Iowa voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The Republican Party’s nominee, incumbent President Donald Trump, and running mate Vice President Mike Pence, faced Democratic Party nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his running mate California Senator Kamala Harris. Trump won the Hawkeye State 53% to 45%. Prior to this election most news organizations had considered Iowa as either leaning towards Trump or a tossup.
This was the first time since 2000 when Iowa did not back the candidate who won the presidential election, and also the first election since 1988 when a candidate from either party would win the state of Iowa while losing both the popular and electoral vote. Biden became the first Democratic nominee since 1976 to win the presidency without carrying Iowa.
